    • About Me

      I worked at a college, support staff. I have not worked since Oct 26-07 due to pain & sickness. I have 3 daughters, one grandson & a GREAT husband. We love basketball, football, volleyball. I also enjoy reading. I hope to be able to walk on a regular basis again, I really loved walking, helped me to relax & gave me peace of mind.

      From Meekacat Tuesday

      Sending you some sunshine sweetie. I'm sorry you too feel so awful. It just sucks, doesn't it? The thing with your eyes is awful. I sometimes expierence a painful "stabbing" feeling in my eyes. It will make me just stop and put my hand to my eye and holler ouch! When that happens, it scares my daughter to death. LOL!
      I know there are people far worse off than me and I honestly don't know how they live with it. Love you Deb.

      Thanks for your kind comments on my pics. I am now in the nebulous land of UCTD too, but still on heavy duty lupus/RA meds. The good news is today I am decreasing my prednisone to 1.5mg...I hope I am done with it soon.

      How are you feeling? I hope you have a wonderful day.
