Sometimes lupus life overwhelms me and every fear, anxiety, frustration, anger, pain and sadness pours out of my eyes, flooding my cheeks. I’m content not knowing why I cried. Maybe my body felt too much and it decided to weep on my behalf.
I apologize for my lengthy leave of absence on my blog. There has been dissention in my body – lupus complications plague me. I’m running on a lupus hamster wheel (and not losing any weight in the process – thank you very much).
I haven’t written for a while and I apologize. Lupus dominated my life over the past couple of months. The physical and emotional stress all culminated into a lupus meltdown.
I want to share some happy lupus blog news with you and I promise to explain my reason why at the end of my article. (No cheating and scrolling to the end.)
Hopefully, one day there will be a cure for lupus and the lupus loop will dissolve forever. Until then, please hold onto hope with me, & let lupus loop-us.
My 2nd guest writer is a wife whose husband has lupus. She shares their emotionally moving journey that led to his diagnosis. While lupus effects mostly women, it’s important to know and spread the word that men can have lupus too.
I entered the courthouse, filed into the mandatory security screening. Then I was shocked silent from the verbal brutality. (It is my private business that I have a lupus handicap.)
The stickers and wires attached to my body made the landscape of my skin look like a colorful spider web.
I received an email announcing that my blog was chosen as one of the top 30 lupus blogs. Feeling dumbfounded is an understatement. You could have knocked me over with a feather (as one of my friends says).
I woke up with a romantic notion, feeling dared to find ways in which having lupus is not always a bad thing. Surely somewhere in this, or any chronic disease, there has to be a tiny bit of positivity.
