    • About Me

      I am a 37 year old single parent of two, a boy 14 and a girl 12. Life has not been easy for me these last few years. In 2001, my sister died a few months later my mother died unexpectedly. Two years later my niece (22), also died, on her mother's b-day. My b-day is on Sept.11, and on sept.26, of this year I was diagnosed with lupus. Through all my hardships, I allow God's faith to sustain me. I am a true believer that we are more than conquers through Christ whom strengthens us. To all those who are going through remember ...And this too shall pass

    • Open Endometriosis

      I kept getting ovarian cyst. The doctors would perform surgery, and before I could go back for my 3 week check-up I would have another cyst. Some of them would be the size of a grapefruit. I had a total of 6 surgeries to remove the cyst. After surgery #3, my dr. found out I have endometriosis. I had laser surgery last year to remove the endo. It worked. But unfortunately this was the beginning of lupus for me. I was disgnose in September.

      Treatments

      Laser Surgery Working / Worked
      After 5 yrs of pain found out about this surgery on Web MD and it worked for me.
      Ortho Evra Not Working
      Surgery Not Working
      6 surgeries to remove ovarian cyst they did not work but the laser surgery did.
