    • Close Lupus

      My name is Tracey and I have been fighting Lupus(SLE) since I was 13 years of age and I have just turned 32. This illness has affected many different aspects of my life and continues to do so. It has not been and still is not an easy thing to deal with for me. I just recently truly accepted that I have the illness and that it will be a part of my life from now on. I struggle day in and day out with the fact that I can't do things that normal healthy people do and I become very frustrated.

      Treatments

      Cellcept Working / Worked
      I have been on this medication since 2005 when I had my Kidney Transplant and so far it's doing what they want it to do, side effects, not sure b/c of all the other medications I am on at this time.
      Cyclosporine Somewhat Helpful
      I was just recently put on this drug. Having some issues with it. Having to have routine blood tests done to watch levels. Right now my levels are up and down, but we will see.
      Prednisone Working / Worked
      This is working. Yes deffinitely having the good old side effects--the wonderful weight gain issue(hate it). Been taking since diagnosis in 1988.
    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      I was married to a wonderful man of 6 and a half years....i have severe health issues and he was explained this before we got married and he was fine with it. well things got worse as time went on...i was also severely abused in all aspects, physically, mentally, emotionally, verbally as well as sexually..i also shared this with him...our intimacy was ok at first and then it just fell apart b/c of me, memories started and i freaked out well he filed for divorce 2006, said he could not do it

      Treatments

      Family Therapy Not Working
      Tried, but he wasn't willing....did not work
      Leave Not Working
      this didn't work, tried for short time, i left for a trip to visit family, he refused to take off and come with me, so i went alone, i began having problems, i called religiously everyday to talk to him and then i called one day to let him know i was coming home, he said basically its done....side effects---DIVORCE
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      we tried to sit and talk with each other or should i say i tried to talk to him, he just didn't seem to get it, he never talked to me back and got frustrated when i wanted or tried to talk to him.....
