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).

It has been a while since I posted an article that I authored and I humbly apologize for my lengthy absence. I do have a justified explanation, though. A short while back, I was in a car accident.

My choices were rather simple and straight forward: 1. undergo brain surgery, or 2. risk potential paralysis
