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!!

Life is about Being Happy and Healthy! Some people are so absorbed with Work and Negativity that they forget what is means to Smile, to Laugh, to Hug someone, and to just Love! Having Lupus and Fibromyalgia makes it difficult for me to do the littlest task, such as, Hugging, Tickling, or Laughing with my children! However, I do my very best to allow my children to know that they are Appreciated, Loved, and My World! Everyday is not always a good day but it feels good to know that I am up and I am able to brush my teeth!! With that being said, I want my reader, whoever it may be, to know that Enjoy every moment of your Life that Makes YOU SMILE and gives you the Reason to Move Forward in a Positive way! Dismiss all the negative energy that may surround you because you will not be a peace if you don't ! Love yourself and know that you are Worthy! Living is Priceless People! Butterfly Hugs and Kisses to you all!! I may have Lupus but Lupus does not Have me;)
