Lupus = Limits

2010 has been a year of heartbreak hurt & unfortunately new lupus pains. Everybody who knows about lupus knows that stress, surgery & infection cause lupus flares. Well while taking a break from blogging I have experienced alot in just a few short months. My father passed away & although stressed, upset & angry, my lupus blood levels stayed at their best during that difficult time. I have also taken on alot more that has to do with lupus awareness, it is in me to keep raising awareness & let everyone know just how serious this illness is & can be. Purple Healers, Inc. is a non-profit organization created by me & is directed at auto immune illnesses. Through this non-profit the products called "lupie hugs" were created. My direction in doing this is to keep patients & America warm. The website is www.lupiehugs.com & I am working very hard to make sure one day a cure will be found. Lupie is a term used by lupus patients.
My direction is to keep going, I will not let lupus get me down. I have been fighting with my body each day to live as normal a life as possible. Lupus = Limits & I hope & pray that every lupus patient can find out what theirs are. I will continue to "Smile Everyday" even through all the struggles of keeping lupus under control. It is like having a full time job & feels like I'm coming down with the flu everyday. I am still on the same medications, not much has changed, however I am more focused on getting & staying off a few of these medications. I'm determined to stay healthy & I know it is not going to be easy, however I'm a fighter & we need & deserve a cure for lupus. I will make sure we don't suffer in silence any longer.
