This year I have decided that I am going to do things I never thought I would be capable of doing because of my invisible Illness- Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Arthritis, Chest Pains, and Chronic Fatigue! I am always changing for the better but I have realized that my heart is so Pure and Loving, that I have to be careful on who I share it with! I plan on Singing my heart out, Dancing much more in public,and never being afraid to say what I need to say! I encourage my children to Speak Freely but be Respectful! Without Respect, you have nothing! I feel it in my heart that the World will Love and Respect me for me! I am ready to Impact others and be that person that allows others to feel empowered! 2012 has been very Painful and even though I will have pain in this upcoming year, I will not allow it to take the special talents God has given me! Get Ready to Meet Wilda Riggs Everyone! If you see me, Never be afraid to approach me! I only Smile Too much! Live, Laugh, Love, and Dance People! Life is about having Fun,Faith, and A Future to hold up too;) We are all human and we all make mistakes! However, I believe that being humble and Appreciative of others is the best way to show how you have changed! Butterfly Hugs and Kisses to you all;) I may have Lupus but Lupus does not Have Me!!!

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!!
