Interests
I love to cook, garden, cross stitch, and play with my son. I have two Boxers and two cats that are members of the family. I also am fortunate to have the most understanding and loving husband in the world. Reading is another of my joys, I just can't do that all of the time. Hiking used to be one of my favorite pasttimes and I will get that one back!!!!! I live in a beautiful mountain area and I love to look at the sights. Eastern TN is the closest thing to Heaven I have ever seen.

I’m With You
I'm definitely with you about laughing. I try to find funny things on tv and my "girls" usually have me laughing at their antics. Sometimes I find myself laughing at the silly things I think or do. It is good to not take oneself too seriously. love you! (((HUGS)))

Little Love
Yes friend, you have been wonderfully supportive of me and I truly am grateful for our friendship. Each of us have had days when we haven't felt very valuable, due to illness, or the craziness of our situations...But always there has been much value in what I have learned from you as I hope you that have found in my ramblings. The biggest thing is that we pick ourselves up and choose life over giving up. That we continue to see the hope & beauty even when things can look very bleak. And Kim my dear friend, I hear your strength of resolve and zest for life even during your distress. So please remember that as you continue your journey and please keep sharing with me. love & peace,Toshie (((HUGS)))

Close Lupus
I have been ill for years and recently been given a positive result for the skin lupus through a biopsy. Years of telling the doc's my symptoms, but no diagnosis until I finally saw the derm. for the rash I have had for four years. SLE is now the dx from the Rheumatologist, along with many more.
Treatments
- Relafen Too Soon to Tell
- It has been over a week and I do believe that it is helping quite a bit. I am supposed to wait another week before I will really know.
- MSM Working / Worked
- Love it!! I have a great reduction in pain and inflammation.
- Flax Working / Worked
- I love it ground up in my smoothies. Take it every morning. My joints, skin, hair and nail health have all improved.
- Anti-Inflammatory Diet Working / Worked
- It might not be fun to eat this way, but it works very well for me. I can tell if I sway from the diet as I feel symptoms returning.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- My treatments have helped me to destress and I can't tell you how wonderful my skin looks. My hair has also stopped falling out.
- Plaquenil Working / Worked
- I've been on it for five weeks and my skin looks a lot better. CANNOT get in the sun. It is also helping some of the connective tissue tightness.
