New Symptoms? TMI

Last night was rough for me.  I was the only one up in the house.  The baby was asleep and so was my husband; pretty sure I heard the dogs snoring too.  I was up with stomach cramps.  Now before you read on this might get TMI.  I don't remember really what cramping feels like during that time of the month.  Mostly because I didn't get them too bad to begin with.  Then came Jackson.  For the last 6 months since I really haven't had any cramps.  I am trying Mirena so maybe that has helped (or hindered).  Who knows.  Anyway, these pains are in the middle of my stomach I think and they are fast shooting pains.  They aren't really super painful but they are annoying and worrisome.  I took some Tylenol and was able to fall asleep but it was very restless.  I wont even mention the hemorrhoid I think I might have.  I have never had one of those before but there is always a first time.  I looked it up and saw that these are more possible problems from the Lupus.  It just keeps getting better doesn't it?  Sorry to gross you out! 

I am waiting for the doctor's office to open to see if I can get in.  Better safe than sorry.  Plus, I am still waiting for the kidney results so I hope they came back.

Plus, I want to talk to my doctor about anxiety.  It comes and goes but, oh boy, when I feel it, its horrible.  That also keeps me up during the night.  It takes me forever to fall asleep because my mind is going too fast.   I think about everything, big or small, important or not... it is getting old. 

We will see what they say. 


*** Update****

The doctor told me to stop taking my Lupus meds for a week then easy back into them.  Apparently the meds are very rough on my body.  So far today feeling better but I had already taken my med this am.  I'll give it a day or two and call back if it gets worse.
