Awareness

OK ... I am going to put a link here for Lupus Awareness Month. Did you miss it ... it was right under the words Lupus Awareness Month? No, you just need to click on the words Lupus Awareness Month. There you go.

Well my dear friends Sarah and Denise both suffer from this and it coincides with National Stroke Awareness Month so I figured I would make everyone aware of this.

Denise just posted something yesterday on her Facebook page that made me think and want to make sure I help make people aware.

It is really hard to explain how difficult it really is to function on day to day basis with chronic pain and fatigue. I know everybody is busy and gets tired, but there is really no way to explain just how severe and debilitating it can be especially when "you don't look sick." 

I know that this is something I see and hear Sarah going through all the time. So click the link above for Lupus and at least read the daily fact ... it will give you little snapshots of insight into what my friends and other Lupus patients go through.

I know that from having strokes there are things that I can do to mitigate and halt more from happening, with Lupus there is only the ability to mitigate small parts of the affects on the body and what it does - no new medicine in years and the still trying to be accepted by the medical world for what it is and the research that needs to be done. 

There I have said my piece. Now it is your turn to read and ask the questions you need to ask.
