Hi all from LPN

Lyndal

I said hi a bit higher up, but thought I'd post a proper post now. Well,
hows ya been? Its been a long while since I've popped in and thought it was
time to say hello, and let you know that my absence has been due to health
not illness (isnt that great)

APLS / Hughes syndrome wise life has been quiet, last thrombotic event 2
years ago. I have been well since having big IV steroid infusion in 2004,
and apart from 2 seizures (in 2 years) all is quiet. Always tired, and the
occasional joint pain...but hey, can live with that!!

I'm due to see the rheum man in 2 weeks- have been a baaaaaad girl and not
been for 18 months (denial is a wonderful thing) but no problems to tell him
about! Staying well on 5mg prednisone, 200mg imuran, 15mg warfarin, 40mg
nexium, 40mg lipitor.......1000mg paracetamol (to get the joints moving in
the morning!)

Life in general is otherwise great.... Phill is still wonderful, Alex is 8
now and we still have furbags and feathered friends at home.

And (exciting news) I have a new job. Full time general practice was
getting more and more tiring and I had real concerns about my health holding
up with the emotional drain and on call etc, so have finally landed the
"dream job" and am working in academia!! Its very exciting and I have been
working towards this for a few years but still need to pinch myself-- I did
not expect to get a job at this level of seniority yet! I still work at the
surgery 1 day a week to keep my hand in clinical medicine, but this is a
much better plan. Busy +++ but without a lot of the stress. Just so I can
show off, here is the link on the Uni of Wollongong website ...

So thats why I've been so busy!

Love to all

Hello Antie Doctor Lyndal Parker Newlyn!

Oh I was worried and I thought maybe you was *dead!* I am so glad that your
health is behavin itself. Expleshly the thombotic events... nobody needs a
thomb, that's for sure.

I'm sorry that you still have the fatigue... Mair still suffers with that,
big time. She has a joke she says: "Do you want to live a *loooooong* life?
Get lupus! your life will seem twice as long as it really is, just from the
fatigue!"

I am glad to hear that you are excited about your new job. Yes. It does
sound grate.

A big snuffly-wet hug to you
Your Devoted Nephew
Pigmet
