My name is Stacie

My name is Stacie, I am a married mom of 2 great kids. I was diagnosed with Lupus in May 2005, it has remained very active despite taking an arsenal of powerful medications each day. It affects my joints, digestive tract, heart, lungs, brain & sun sensitivity. I also have Celiac disease, Hashimoto's, Fibromyalgia, Sjogren's, GERD and Raynaud's.

I think everything happens for a reason and I can only hope that through my own experiences I can help others cope with this dreaded disease.

Lupus and fatigue

Fatigue..... What does it mean to you? For healthy people it means being tired after a hard day at work or a late night out with the girls. For those of us that suffer from lupus or any other chronic illness it's so much more, it's debilitating and it comes for no reason and there is nothing treat it. It's sad when a trip to the store or doctor wears you out to the point you have to come home and take a nap. It's frustrating to be limited on what you can do or have to pass on social gatherings because you're so exhausted and you know if you push yourself you will only pay for it later. It's something I don't think I will ever get use to.
