Lupus Rash Discoveries
Hi guys! I just wanted to update you all. I've had some wicked flares lately and I wanted to share something with you all. I get the typical, textbook but extreme malar rash every time I have a flare. I'm lucky enough to have a mother in law who's an esthetician. So, during my last flare, she wanted to try to help. I was definitely skeptical because usually nothing helps the rash. It feels like my face is on fire and it looks insane! But she's an amazing woman and as you know from my past posts, she bends over backward to try to help in a any way she can, even if it's small.

Psychological Illness
When you live with a chronic illness it's stressful in so many ways! It's easy for other to watch and judge our lives. Almost everyone I've talked to says the same thing. They've been called, lazy, fakers, drama queens, attention seekers, drug seekers or just flat out overall worthless. Why or how anyone could think we could choose this life is crazy to me. We deal with that kind of judgement EVERY DAY! Most people couldn't handle it once. Does that make us better, or stronger? No it doesn't. We just don't have a choice. It's the hand we were dealt! It's a financial, emotional, physical, and psychological struggle! The physical is difficult and so is the financial aspect. What I wasn't really prepared for were the psychological changes.

Feeling pretty down :-(
Hi guys! I'm sorry I've been absent and I honestly don't even know if anyone is even following my blog anymore. If you are, thanks! ;-) lol. Things have been pretty bad for me lately. If you have been following this blog, you will know that's when I write poems. I know my poetry tends to be pretty depressing. Sometimes, it helps me to write out my feelings. I've been feeling so alone lately. Just being sick is a big part of it, but there are a lot of other things as well. I don't really want to get into too many specifics. With the blogger app, I'm hoping to be able to blog more often! I hope you will all hang in there! Even if I'm just talking to myself, I guess it's still advantageous for me! Lol.

Late Night annoyance
I have learned so well to despise the night
It's become so lonely and sad
There's no such thing as sleep when you're health isn't right
I lie in bed for hours not believing I can feel this bad
When will it end when will it stop
I feel like life is a trick
My health balloon has been popped
I'm so tired of being sick
If I woke up healthy I'd be really shocked
Something must be terribly amiss
To not have to see so many docs
I have now become accustomed to feeling like this
I Try to lessen others worry all the while
The end of the tunnel, the light is very small
I'm trying to keep going I try to just smile
I just hope I'm strong enough to make it through it all
