    About Me

    I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE) 10 years ago, which was the downfall of my marriage of 20 years. However, there is hope and life out there, and I plan to take part in it ... when I can.

    Interests

    I enjoy reading, writing and, generally, will try, within reason, about anything.

      Methotrexate Too Soon to Tell
      I just had my first Methotrexate shot today ... so time will tell. I'm extremely hopeful.
      Plaquenil Not Working
      Plaquenil never did a thing for me.
      Prednisone Somewhat Helpful
      I've only used Prednisone when I've been in awful flares ... as I have osteporosis.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I shut out most of my memories for many years. My older brother sexually abused me on a regular basis. Then, when I was held hostage and raped at the age of 43, memories came flooding back. I did not report the rape. The man who raped me was a big wig in Rhode Island and I was just a nothing. I felt like nothing too. Get this, after 10 days, he drove me to the airport, kissed me on the forehead and told me to keep in touch. I wouldn't leave the house. Then, the memories of the past. Ugh!

      Treatments

      Visiting parks and realizing nature is beautiful has helped.
      Music Somewhat Helpful

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      It was very difficult to talk about, but I did it.
      \"The Courage To Heal\" Somewhat Helpful
      I worked hard on this. It hurt a lot.
