I have decided ..... to go for the kidney biopsy. This is the only way the doctor can confirm whether my kidneys are affected by the SLE or not. Rather than having the doctor guessing, I have decided to go ahead with this procedure so that I can have the proper medication and diagnosis.
So.... today I will be admitted to the hospital, tomorrow the procedure will be perform, and hopefully I can go home on Wednesday. Bless me!!!
Believe it or not, I went to 四马路 to pray to 观音 so that she can bless me with good health and nothing bad will happen during the procedure. Don't laugh ok?? She is very very 灵 one and I believe she will protect me.
Good luck to myself and bless myself... mua ha ha ha ha. I must be happy, relax and not worry too much, this is the best medicine in the world.
"I will be back" a few days later to update my health again ... hee hee ....

My health
Finally, the hospital is able to pinpoint my illness. Itz known as LUPUS or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Itz call 红斑狼苍 in Chinese.
Doctor advise me to avoid sunlight and raw food. Singapore is summer all year round, so I dont think I can totally avoid sunlight but I try to stay indoor most of the time. As for raw food, well I don't really like raw food, so itz ok with me.
This illness is similar to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) which I were diagnosed earlier, that is the immune system is not functioning properly, but it is more dangerous cos' it affects not only the joints but the internal organs as well. My kidneys seem to be affected and they wanted to do a kidney biopsy, where they take out my kidney tissue to test. But there is a danger such as cannot stop bleeding, the doctor will have to remove my kidney. So scary ...
My medications have also increased. Everyday, I am taking 10 tablets in the morning. Sign ... how to squeeze in bread, water and 10 tablets early morning into the stomach?? What to do, I need the medicine to control my immume system. And there is no cure for Lupus.
I will do some readings on this illness, seems this is quite common especially with women. And there is a Lupus Association in Singapore ... hmm .. I should go and find out more.
