Pemphie flare over the weekend.  I was a bit under the weather at work on Friday, then on Saturday morning I fainted and by Sunday I had blisters.  I guess it was a combination of being ill with a random bug, going down to Glasgow on the Thursday for Laura’s memorial service, trying to reduce my pred (I was just going down to 10/12.5mg) and finishing up my summer job.  I’ve upped my pred to 20mg to squash the flare.

The fainting spell and generally feeling ill was worrying.  I thought I was dying.

Today was officially my last day of my summer job.  Woo hoo!  I’ve really enjoyed it, but I’m just so tired and am absolutely in need of a rest.  I’m down as casual staff and have already been asked to do shifts.  I need to apply for a permanent job soon, but I might concentrate on finding on a part-time position which won’t tire me quite so much.
