    About Me

    Well, I was finally diagnosed with Systemic Lupus just 2 years ago in October 2006 after many years of feeling sick and not knowing why. I had a whole bunch of symptoms and finally got it under control. I didn't know what Lupus was when the Dr. told me, but I finally was able to get the help I needed. (I am thankful for this doctor that diagnosed me.) I have my good days and bad days. I go to each of my doctors often to keep things in check. Yep. it's a daily thing with Lupus. Each day can hold something different. It's crazy. Dailystrength helped me in the beginning when I needed support and it is a great place where people actually know what you're going through & can understand. I still recommend it to people. People are very helpful here. I'm still learning about Lupus and other things. I don't come here as often as I used to, but do occasionally drop in! I'm actually thinking of coming in more often because I do know how important support is.

      From MirandaM November 5

      Hello girl, I was just thinkin about you and wanted to send you this big big HUG. There are lkots of great men out there and you will find yours. Write a list of what you want in a man and read it every now and then. It will help focus on what you need and be a reminder of how lucky you are that you don't have a toxic man in your life. You will find what you are looking for...time seems like such an enemy some times but it is the only way to correct our mistakes in life and make it better. I hope you have a great rest of the week and an awesome weekend.
