No, I don't take anything for pain as nothing really helps. I take 400mg of Plaquenil per day to manipulate the pH of my cells for Lupus.

My cut wasn't deep enough to get stitches. It was one of those annoying cuts that perfectly took off the top layer of skin but was not too deep. I bleed more than normal people do so it looked way worse than it was.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease. My body overproduces autoimmune antibodies and the overproduction causes my body to "attack" it's own tissue, joints and organs. Any trauma to my body (ex: the cut I got on Sat.) stimulates more overproduction.

I do rest when I can. Lupus and chronic fatigue go hand in hand.

Could be worse!
