"Lupus ups and downs.....here we go."

Monday, January 5, 2009 | A Breaking News story

Well, good news!  I got a call today for a job interview! I've been waiting for a response from this job for about 2 and a half weeks. I almost felt like it wasn't going to happen. It's an organization that works with children with multi needs. I really feel good about working there because I love working with my current client and his mom was the one that recommended that I apply for a position to work there.

However, I am a bit apprehensive, being that I have lupus, sometimes any change in lifestyle can trigger a flare. I've been doing so well lately that it seems that I have forgotten how bad the lupus can bring me down. Right now, since it is winter, the only thing that I seem to struggle with, health-wise, is the Raynaud's, calcifications in my legs, and sometimes very rarely I have shortness of breath or trouble breathing.

I seem to do very well with my current client, but I am only with him for about 2 hours a day. I just hope that this job doesn't turn out like other jobs in the past in which I was only able to work for a few days until I had a bad flare. I'm crossing my fingers on this one, since unlike those other jobs, this one really has to do with what I am in school for. I gotta make it! Well, we'll see, if it's meant for me, I will know.
