Had a Moment when the Pain of Fibromyalgia just overcame me! I felt stricken with Fear and Agony! I refuse to question God on my condition because I know that he would not give me something I could not handle! My body just felt as if it was on fire and crying only makes my pain worse! I thank god that I have someone to Hold me when I am weak, To wipe my eyes as the tears fall, To be an ear when I need to be listen too, and just to be beside me and give me the Strength when I need! Thank you!! I know this may be too personal for some but Unconditional Love is a Beautiful Thing! Be Thankful and Appreciative for those people that bring Love, Understanding, and Passion in your Life! God Is Good! I am Truly Blessed;) Butterfly Hugs and Kisses to you all;) I AM STILL STANDING;) Today is a Very Special Day! Happy Birthday Angela!! I thank god for having a Real, Honest, Sweet, and Beautiful Friend like you! You have always been there for me and you have never treated me any different because of Lupus!! When I cried about my scars, you always told me that I was beautiful and that I should never allow anyone to take my Kindness for my weakness! I thank you for being there when I gave birth to your God child, and Keeping her for the weekend when I gave birth to my twins! Your Heart has always been in the right place! You always told me to be strong, no matter the outcome! I always thought you were crazy when you wanted me to sleep over, even though I was having a few chest pains or headaches, but you did not let that bother you! I always thought I had to push some people always because of my illness, but I would never do that to you: You are my Root and I love you!! God had a Reason for us two to be The Best of Friends; Sisters!! I am a young woman who has made mistakes in the past but I have learned to accept that, move forward, and understand that Life is how you make it! Being diagnosed with Lupus so young (7 years old) and getting disciplined, doing chores, and learning to deal with pain has helped me appreciate how beautiful life can be if you are able to embrace your trials and tribulations. My father always told me that he will not have any sympathy for me because the world will not feel sorry for me, No Matter how sick I am! I did not grow up in an immaculate home but I had Unconditional Love, Shelter, Food, and a Family that Prayed together. Knowing God has always been our number one priority with my family! My father also said, “Wilda, You are Beautiful and Smart and if NO man can love you past your scars, then it wasn't love to began with”! With that being said, Do not allow your past to Jeopardize your Present because it will hold you back from having a Future! Everyone should know that deserve to be Love and Appreciated! You are Priceless and God does not make mistakes! Do not go on living for other people! Do you because you are the only one that can do it best!! Butterfly Hugs and Kisses to you All! Have a Blessed Day! Now you see why no one could ever take my Smile Away!! I will continue to Laugh, Love, Dance, and Pray! I Only Look up;)
As you Know, I have been having SLE ( Lupus) for twenty three years!! However, I have been able to have stability in my life, thanks to my Faith, My Family, My Friends, but most of all Myself!! Flare ups are common with Lupus and my Joint pain annoys me all day everyday but that has not been able to keep me down until I learned about Fibromyalgia! I noticed , around the middle of December 2010, and the beginning of January 2011, I would take a lot longer to get out of bed and I seemed to have constant fatigue, weakness, headaches, and my body just had this overwhelming pain that made want to stay in bed all day! I did not want to walk, attend a park, watch my children play outside, or even be outside! However, I was placed on Vicoprofuen , thanks to my NP, Theresa Margaglio, and my pain has been able to stay under control most of the time! I have no choice but to take my pain medicine or I will have a hard time completing the simplest chores or even walk! Knowing that I have been placed on Pain management ,at the age of 28 ,was a memorable moment because I knew I was able to overcome Lupus but I could not deal with the constant struggle that I had to battle by having Fibromyalgia! This pain is no joke and I would not wish this on my Enemy!! I am grateful for the Love and Positive people that surround me! My circle is full of Grace and Hope! I can only pray that people are educated about Fibromyalgia and Lupus so that they are better to understand the proper treatment that is required for that individual! We are all unique and not everyone can have the same treatment! Therefore, Eat Healthy, Excersise, Enjoy Life, Laugh, but Most of All Dance and be free because you are Not alone!! God Bless you!! Butterfly Hugs and Kisses to all of you!!
