  • In Remission

    Happy 3rd Tuesday in Easter 2013!

    I was thinking about my bout with lupus. It came upon me in 2001. But I think that I had it long before then. The doctors couldn't pin point it until Summer of 2001.

    It was a six month process. I  had to take six chemo treatments once a month and medicine.. By Jan of 2002 I was in remission from lupus. I was on the road to recovery. I felt much better as the months went by.

    Through the years something with wrong. By Spring of 2004 I was becoming ill again. I went through procedures... I found out that the lupus returned. I was mad. This time the lupus felt worst. I went through the process of chemo and medicine.

    It wasn't until Sept/ Oct 2004, when I was in remission from lupus for the second time. I was told by doctors that the lupus could return. And I need to have check up and for the signs of lupus. 

    Well, it's been about 9 years since I took my last chemo treatment for lupus. I'm in remission. There have been other issues link to lupus that have attacked my body.

    In all I thank God for bringing me through. It was a tough battle; through the years with lupus and the treatment etc. I felt and feel much better.

    I'm thankful for God for getting me through issues in my life. I don't know if this lupus will be reactive. I don't worry about that. I'll I try not to.

    I can only do what I can. I have to watch what I do. And not to overdo things. I have to learn to know my limits.
    I have to keep in tune with what's going....
