Can't let lupus win.......

May is Lupus awareness month and now more than ever do we need to raise awareness. My friends are flaring, lupus is attacking them in bad ways, many have died over the last year or so. We need better medications or a cure for this disease. This disease not only attacks our bodies but steals our joy, our happiness, and puts us in a dark place and leaves us there and we don't know how to get out. We then wonder if it's worth fighting for, we ask ourselves what do we do for society, for our family? How can we contribute when we're in the bed and can barely take care of ourselves? We ask ourselves what do we give to the relationship to our spouse, our children and our friends? It's not a nice place to be and I hope each of us can rise up and stand up to this monster called lupus, we can't let it win, we are stronger than that, we can do this..... Together.
