Growing up with Lupus made my life extremely difficult at times because of my Chronic Fatigue, Sudden Loss of Memory, Joint Pain, Migraines,and the Depression that never left my Side! Each Day was always different but I could always rely on my Family and Friends for Support, Keeping me on my Feet, if possible, and with a Smile! I hated how I could not be outside in the heat sometimes, especially in Louisiana, because I could or would fall asleep within Thirty Minutes or even Five Minutes! Being Diagnosed at the age of Seven made me see things so much clearer in Life and I am not joking when I say that I am so Appreciative of my Life and the People that surround me because I would not be the Strong, Loving ,and Humble Woman I am today! Sometimes I felt like a Burden in my family because Lupus and its annoying Flare-ups , such as Chest Pains and Seizures! In addition to that,I felt like I was stopping everyone from having fun and enjoying Life!
Polly(Mother) and Herbert Sr.(Father) always told me that I should never feel ashamed or apologize for being sick because Lupus is and will never be my fault and if I can than I can and if I can not than, I can not! I get so frustrated when I can not get things done or attend events because of my Unexpected Pains from Lupus! However, I Thank God each and every day for seeing another day and looking at my Beautiful Children that have given me the Strength and Courage I need to make it through my roughest days! I am so Thankful for the Things I have and Blessed to say that I am Rich by having a Beautiful Heart, Mind, and Spirit! I always Speak from my Heart and I pray that my words Impact at least one of you! You are not alone in this battle and I want you too know that there is only one You and Know that you serve a Purpose, Believe that you can make a Difference,and Understand that Lupus may be a Burden but you are Blessed! My rules,and I do mean Mine alone, while surviving with Lupus and Fibromyalgia: Live, Laugh, Love, Pray, Dance, Eat, and Write!! God Bless you all my Fellow Supporters, Readers, and Followers! Thank you all for being Patient with Me!!
