I , Wilda Riggs, was diagnosed at the age of 7 with Systemic Lupus ! I never understood what it meant at the time but I knew that I was going too be alright! I am a Family Oriented and I am a person who has Learned too understand that I must walk by Faith and not by Sight! I have been dealing with constant Joint Pain, Arthritis, Chest pains (Pleurisy), Headaches, Migraines, Fatigue, and multiple Hospital Visits my whole Life! However, That did not stop me from Dancing, Cheer-leading in Jr. High, and Singing the National Anthem my Senior Year at Cecilia High School! I remember how Angry I would be at times and I would Curse God for Giving me this Pain and Scars! I felt like I was useless and what made it even worse was the years of Bullying, Depression, and if I would Wake up the Next Morning! I was always told that Everything happens for a Reason but Why me and Why Lupus! My Faith and Family have been the backbone of my whole being and I am grateful too have met wonderful Friends! Not everyone understands me at times but I understand that I am one of the Kindest people in this World, I am a Giver, and I love too see Smiles! We all go through Trials and Tribulations in Life but that is what makes us who we are! I Love when People see me for who I am! I am one that sees people with my Heart and that does not make me any better than anyone but I know that I only follow what I feel is Good and Positive! I am so Proud of who I am and I intend to reach my Highest Potential at the Pace of Me! God be with all of you and I thank you so much for your Support and Respect! We all have something in our life that changes who we are but that does not mean that we should punish ourselves or our Friends and Family that Love and Support us! I ask that you let all of your Anger Go and Find the Peace! We all need to Wake up with a Smile that says, "It feels so Good to Be Alive! Remember People, we are Never Promised Tomorrow so Live for Today! My Life with Lupus and Fibromyalgia has been a Journey but I Promise you that I will continue Climbing;) Butterfly Hugs and Kisses too each of you;)
