Injoy's various pages-Links to keep me on track

I'm a 66 year old happily married retired grandmother who now has time to read voraciously. I don't have to go to work the next day, so if I want to, I can read until 3 am. Bliss.

I do not charge for my book reviews. The books are sent to me for free in exchange for a fair review. I write for NetGalley, Amazon, Goodreads, LibraryThing, Booklikes & my own Book Review Page: InJoyful Book Reviews.

Bittersweet Progress

I've had a few more challenges with health issues which have made me question the wisdom of enforcing my personal creed: Joy is a choice. However, I can usually maintain my determined optimism by remembering it's not a forever choice, just choosing joy moment by moment.

I'll write more later, it's time for a healthy meal. Just wanted to start an update.

Every one spreads joy

Every one spreads joy.  Some when they come & some when they go.  This blog will be about my personal journey into discovering how to choose joy moment by moment.

It's not an easy creed to maintain when living with lupus & having unpleasant side effects from the medication.  However, MOST of the time I can do so.

Sadly, Plaquenil the drug of choice for long term use has caused 'toxicity' in my system & damaged the vision in my right eye.  I had to stop taking it several weeks ago & be unmedicated until I could see my rheumatologist.  I was at a level 9 in pain for a solid week.  He started me on an old cancer drug (also used for rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis & systemic lupus) called Methotrexate. 

It has a list of side effects that were truly frightening but nearly as frightening as losing my sight. So I had my first dose last Thursday & remained queasy & nauseated for several days.  

I take it once a week so tomorrow I'll take dose two. I remain hopeful! I'll fall back on my personal creed & search for the joyful moments.

Note to self: Read Psalm 91 AGAIN
