About Me
- Erin In The Sky With Lupus
- I am Erin & there were 31 candles on my cake October 2008. A few weeks later I was sent to a rheumatologist by a neurosurgeon (random?). After almost two years of being sick constantly & having ran every imaginable procedure & test possible, I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (more commonly called Lupus). There is currently no cure for Lupus & there hasn't been an FDA approved medication for it to come out in over 50 years. Most people can't even tell you what Lupus is. That's where I come in with this blog & hope to lessen the elusiveness surrounding Lupus. I love the beach & seashells & sea turtles & anything to do with the ocean really. I love taking pictures. I love my 3 cats, bunny Basil & new puppy Snoopy (aka "the zoo"). My faith. Family. Friends. Gardening. Music. Singing. Musicals. Painting. Scrapbooking. I just love to CREATE :) I love my husband Chris for the kind & patient man & care taker that he is. We've been married a little over four years now & I'm very lucky to have had him by my side through all of this :) Not everyone with Lupus has the support I have though & I realize this & want to help.
Erin, here in Connecticut it's been raining FOREVER! I believe today is the first day that won't produce any rain (possibly). The rain exacerbates my condition, so I haven't had relief all winter (very snowy winter it was), spring (very rainy spring) or summer (raining like heck). *sigh* But we continue on. Happy to have you as a fellow "Survivor."
ReplyDeleteOh, must also mention that this OCTOBER 12th there will be 34 candles on MY cake! Hello fellow Libra! (at least I think maybe you're a Libra. LOL!)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a Libra too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about all the rain. It makes pain levels ridiculous. I totally understand where you're coming from.
*HUGS*
Hope to get to know you better.
PS - You have a beautiful smile :)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of myself, I used to have the aches and pain whenever it rained...the solution was simple. My body was overloaded with toxins, that's the reason why it hurt so much. I had to detox my body with lots of veggie juices, wheatgrass and even enemas...if you'd like more info. feel free to stop by my blog and send me an email, i'll be glad to share.
ReplyDeleteLS - I would LOVE more info... I've done detox diets (very very strict ones & even elimination diets) & we eat very healthy & cook with whole foods only. When I was in a 4 month program of acupuncture is when I was told to try this. It honestly didn't help with much :( Either did acupuncture & it got EXPENSIVE fast & isn't covered by my insurance, so I had to stop going. I actually was told by my acupuncturist "This isn't working. We've tried it all. You need to seek other routes. I'm so sorry, Erin."
ReplyDeleteAt this point it almost seems like I've been down every road & it's just now occuring to me to learn to live WITH the pain, not against it.
