What an amazingly beautiful and productive Autumn day. I actually got everything done on my mental to-do list. After walking the dog at the lakes for an hour, I got groceries, made lunch, and mowed/mulched the backyard. I really got a bug-up-my bum (both literally and figuratively...the flies and no-see-ums were ferocious) and used the air compressor to clean out the HVAC compressor. Loads of laundry were sprinkled in throughout the day. I made dinner...oh, and picked up my older daughter's room since she's been so busy w/ work and school. I'd say my energy level is just fine.
On the physical side, an ache in my upper right thigh has progressively gotten stronger throughout the evening. I didn't notice it during the day, but I've felt this ache before, and it usually proceeds an outbreak of the erythema multiforme. I've dealt w/ these skin lesions for about seven years w/ the first ones appearing shortly after my hysterectomy. After seeing three different dermatologists, who all dubbed the lesions idiopathic, I took matters into my own hands by seeking ways to boost my immune system. That's when I started drinking soy milk and eating more garlic and drinking one DanActive every morning. I haven't had a major outbreak in about three years, and it was over a year since I had one lesion in the palm of my hand. My nephew likes to tease me and call it my stigmata. It may be that the lesions prefaced by the achiness has been the lymphoma all along, and I've been dealing w/ it longer than I realized.
Keeping my immune system healthy continues to be my goal, and I decided to try the immune system booster, Airborne, to see if I notice less achiness. I took one chewable tablet this afternoon. I also decided to start taking an aspirin again each day to regulate my blood pressure. I know, self-medicating is dangerous so I'll call my hematologist tomorrow.
