LMM, you need to go and see your guidence couns. and your ADA(Americans with Disability agent). They will know what to do and how to work with you. It is actually against the law for them to treat you like this if you have done the necessary paperwork for the ADA. I know that it is very hard at best to admit to people around you that you have this, but you have got to take care or yourself or you will not be able to complete this. Trust me I understand. I graduated from University in 2005(even though I am old as dirt). I never admitted to anyone except my Prof. at the time that I had anything wrong, and that is only b/c I almost collapsed in one of their classes. Take care of YOU first. Ok! Done with the soap box!!!!LOL How are you feeling today?? Please listen to everyones advice...Its not gonna matter what you end up getting on exams if you end up in a breakdown...How many classes do you have next semester? Are you able to take less classes? When I was having trouble w/ severe fatigue, my PCP said to take an extra Iron suppliment. My numbers didnt indicate a severe anemia but just a small bit. Hope your exams went well, and remember to take it easy for a while after they are over!!! Maybe treat yourself to a massage when your through...Thats always a good way to relax
Edited to add: About the mouthsores..Are you on Mtx? If so are you taking the folic acid like your soposed to?
bio exam tomorrow. faild french exam and orgo quiz im positive blahare you anemic? Im sorry that your having a tough time right now. I wish there was something I could help w/ but yea I wont be to much help w/ classes...

*hugs*
LMM - I used to get mouth sores (aphthous ulcers) alot in college when I was stressed out and not eating right. Get something that contains lidocaine and put it on the sores; it will greatly reduce the pain. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water (1 teaspoon in 8 ounces water, with a pinch of baking soda). If you're not taking a vitamin, go get a B-vitamin supplement. B-vitamin deficiency can make you more prone to the mouth sores. Some people have also said that swishing Mylanta liquid around in your mouth will ease the pain, but I've never tried that.
It sounds like you also have a cold or some kind of virus that's making everything else 10 times worse. Go to the health center soon, just to be on the safe side.
yea yea i know i need to rest. just no time its exams! there are not such things as make up exams....thurs i have the day off Sweetie, you exams are not going to matter a toss if you completely collapse! I have to agree with Katie, you need a break but I know it is not easy when you feel you can't take one.
Here is my question though...you are a college student with a disability surely your college has stuff that can be set up for you that would help you cope better. Surely with this chronic disease there should be something set up so you can do catch up exams if you are ill at exam time? Does it not exist or is it you aren't hooked into it?
Or are you just thinking that you can manage it all by yourself without any help or anything like that? Hmmm?
It seems to me that most colleges these days have stuff to make it manageable with students with a disability like yourself. Maybe you need to look at this stuff and how you can more better manage what you have to with a plan put into place before exam time.
Yeah I already told her to hit up the counselors but she's a stubborn little cookie. When your exams are over, I expect to hear about how you laid around for 2 days and did JACK ALL the whole time. LOL
And LMM, I agree with Shel's soapbox, so now you have two old girls hounding you as well as Katie.
haha thanks you guys. me stubborn what are you talkig about?
Oh, we know what we are talking about...we stubborn and older. Ha ha.
haha im just kidding iknow im stubborn....
takes me at least 3 days of a fever before i even admited im sick...We noticed. Ha ha.
You don't have to do everything the hard way, girl. You really don't. Get the assistance you need. That is what it is there for.
It has taken me two and a half years since dx to get my groceries delivered. I know about stubborn.
Hey, so far today i havnt had a fever. my joints are awfuller then normal but i feel decent enough fever wise. my bio exam ws awfull but not cause i felt sick morebecause it was just realy hard. as far as classes go i have a very hard schedule but no way around it since im prehealth and have to take bio and orgo.... im taking 5 classes, 5.5 is the max. next semester im taking 4.5 its just 3 classes but 2 have labs... labs kill me but ive managed so far and i make sure to get a stoool so i dont have to stand for 5 hours. last year i had 4.5 classes with an additionl EMT class 18 hours a week AND this is when i got dx with interstitial cystitis. i survived....
i do take my folic acid and my dose was doubled a while back....sores come and and dont seem to be dependent on when i took my mtx.
i just got to get this figured out, all this will betold to my rheumy, the sores, fever, she already knows about the rash...
im done withclasses till friday and friday is my easy day with no homework basically so i can chill for a bit. just kidding i have a fever....but i dont feel like i do and its just a baby....99.2
