		<title>Lupus Research</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like many of you, I have a hard time keeping up with what&#8217;s going on in lupus research. 
In order to make that a little easier, I&#8217;ve added a sidebar widget that provides updates from the Lupus Research Institute. If you move your mouse over a particular news item, you will be able to see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lupus and the Brain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife has been having a lot of problems lately remembering things and has been acting a little odd. This isn&#8217;t a new symptom of her lupus, but it is one that tends to vary in severity. Sometimes people refer to this as lupus fog, and it can also be related to fibromyalgia, but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Answering Questions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife asks me a lot of questions. She usually asks me first thing in the morning why she is so sore or why she feels so terrible. During the day, she will ask me at least once why she feels so tired or why she has trouble staying awake, and early in the evening [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gaining Locomotion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don't think I think about Jenny's lupus like I did a few years ago. It's like living in a house next to a train track. At first, the noise keeps you awake at night and drives you crazy, but after a while, you just sleep right through the noise. Well, I think I've been sleeping through my wife's illness for some time now.]]></description>

		<title>Imuran? No. Cellcept? No.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve totally neglected this blog, and I need to stop doing that. My problem is that I like to write posts that are somehow useful, and not just complaints or reposts of information that is better found elsewhere. However, I suppose that is how information gets in the hands of the right folks, eventually. Writing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Climbing Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe I am starting to recover from a period of what is referred to as double depression, which what happens when someone with chronic depression, or dysthymia, experiences a particularly deep episode of depression. In hindsight, I can see that it started in early September, when my wife&#8217;s health was particularly problematic, which I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Deadly Reminder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not something I like to think about, but lupus is a very serious and potentially fatal illness. I was reading an article on the Associated Press this morning about how the woman who was the the inspiration for the classic Beatles song, &#8220;Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds&#8221;, died after a long battle with [...]]]></description>

		<title>The weekend flu by</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend was one of those many times where I just felt totally useless. My wife seems to get every flu bug that the kids bring home, and so a few days after my daughter is just starting to get better, Jenny is down again with flu-like symptoms. This has been happening fairly often [...]]]></description>

		<title>Headaches from B12 shot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, my wife had a really bad headache that lasted almost five days. She also felt jittery and anxious. She gets headaches fairly often, but this was different due to the type of pain, the duration, and the additional feeling of what she described as &#8220;nervous energy.&#8221;
We treated it with medication and ice packs, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diagnosis: Thick Headedness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things that really bugs the crap out of me is when my wife does stuff that she KNOWS she&#8217;s not supposed to do. I don&#8217;t know if this is a common frustration with other people who are living with someone who has lupus, but I have a hunch that it is.
Heads up, [...]]]></description>
