		<title>Three Things I&#8217;ve Learned From Being Sick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In real life I don’t really talk about my health all that much.   I’m not nearly as whiny in real life.  I justgrin and bear it and get on with my day.  My blog allows me to express things that I normally wouldn’t in person because I don’t want to come off as whiny, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fevers and Stuff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is not a formal blog post but I am writing this to help keep track with my symptoms. So I decided to get a thermometer to track my temperature since I often feel feverish when my joints are aching.  And in fact I do seem to run low grade fevers around 99.5-100.0 when I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Lupus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Good Lord, why does it take so long to reach an official diagnosis? I&#8217;m in pain but not as much as before, I think; I&#8217;m not sure because I&#8217;ve been in a &#8220;flare&#8221; for the last 3 weeks.  So pretty much I feel like crap right now. I had an appointment with my Rheumatologist today [...]]]></description>

		<title>Study Plan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Test It&#8217;s about 11 weeks until the big test.  I do not feel to comfortable about it just yet but I&#8217;m trying not to freak out.  I&#8217;ve decided that between now and then I will put in a whooping 500 hours of study time.  After I&#8217;ve studied for 100 hours I will re-access how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Much Needed Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for not updating for a while. I will try to keep this update short and sweet: I have a new laptop! I was without a computer for a while, hence my lack of updating . School is going very well.  I feel like I can get through this quarter with better grades than last [...]]]></description>

		<title>2011 In Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I don&#8217;t think about the awfulness of graduate school 2011 was a really good year for me. For the first time in 5 years I am no longer in pain every single day.   An improvement in this one seemingly small facet of my life has helped me in other areas.  I am now able [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slowly but surely there is improvement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t think anyone can truly understand how depressing it can be to be in chronic pain until you have experienced it firsthand.  I spent several years suffering in silence.  When I did talk about it, no one really knew how much I was hurting.  I think the worst part of it all was when [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Over!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first quarter as a PhD student, and it was&#8230; humbling. Being sick still made the quarter very difficult,  but I know it can be done.  Also I have a feeling next quarter will be infinitely better!  My final exams were on Tuesday and I came back home (to the DC area) on Wednesday.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The delete</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I got deleted as a facebook friend by a friend I had an argument with roughly two years ago. I can&#8217;t lie and say it doesn&#8217;t bother me, but the thread of friendship we had is officially over. I know what went wrong. I made a facebook status last week. It was a generalization [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rude Awakening</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve taken two tests since I started the PhD program. The first I did alright, the second I failed (for me failing is scoring more than one standard deviation below the mean). I really freaked out. I began to worry about passing the qualifier in June. Then I realized June is 7 months away and [...]]]></description>
