yeap....15 tabs into my belly everyday....wahahahaha....

lifestyle changed a lot since my diagnosis on SLE... Meds have become a side meal during breakfast....and I'm on a low fat and low salt diet...that's because my cholesterol level is also rather high....due to the medications im taking right now.....

so yeah....everything is tasteless and bland...but strangely...I liked the food....hahaha...

wholemeal bread and brown rice have become the main staple food for monsieur junjun...but at least those weren't that bad...brown rice porridge's the best! oh ya....and more vege....avoid fatty oils and sweet stuffs....hai...gonna miss those...

okok..enough about meals....other times I'll be inside the sick bay stoning in front of my laptop....because practically there's no physical activity that I'm allowed to do for the next 6 months...oh no!! no basketball!!! now...most of the things are done through my laptop...reading lecture notes...doing student council stuffs...even entertainment and games will have to rely on my Acer Aspire 4520G..(yes....it's not a rah-rah laptop...but hey....cheap wat...hehe...)

sleeping time have been greatly reduced to around 5 hours everyday...all thanks to the prednisolone im taking....(steroids)...which will keep my mind alert for hours....supposedly it should not pose a problem to me because I'm taking those in the morning....but hmm....maybe I'm a bit slow in taking in the side effects...hahah...

everyday's main concern is about the swelling of both of my legs...(bilateral edema)...as long as they don't swell up again...I'm ok...hahaha...got to be careful about that now...even when i sleep...i have to make sure that my legs are well elevated so that my legs wont's swell overnight...erm...actually....is i have to elevate my legs WHENEVER I'm on the bed...like now!! xD

Fluid restriction is also another important on junjun's list...1 liter per day to make sure that I can expel all the extra fluid inside me...hmm......more like squeezing me dry....hahaha...

okok.....that's all for now.....will let you guys know more on part 2.....if something else popped out...
