Lupus.

Definitely not music to my ears during this festive exam period.

The words younger, bone pains, rashes are still ringing in my ears as I type this.

What the-

How it goes is like this: my dear mummy read about lupus and then she got the idea that I may develop it. If I don't watch out. Because as a child I was rather, ehem, weak. And my mom said the syptoms matched =.=

As a result, I endured 5 minutes of lecture. She found out I haven't taken my shower, at 10 P.M. She further warned me of arthritis. I pledged to go shower immediately. Only to end up talking on the phone and nosing through Facebook.


Common Symptoms of Lupus:
Painful or swollen joints and muscle pain
Unexplained fever
Red rashes, most commonly on the face
Chest pain upon deep breathing
Unusual loss of hair
Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress (Raynaud's phenomenon)
Sensitivity to the sun
Swelling (edema) in legs or around eyes
Mouth ulcers
Swollen glands
Extreme fatigue

Lets just say I had 6 out of 11 of the syptoms above when I was a child.

Oh well. Off to shower I go. Tata!
