Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.
I can't believe it...I CAN WALK!!!! Thank The Good Lord...walking without excruciating pain I will never take advantage of again! I still have horrible back and shoulder pain and headaches everyday, but I can get up in the morning without screaming in pain. I go back to my neurologist Nov.8th for another nerve conduction study for my back and neck, so we'll see what that shows. I've started a low fat diet and been doing yoga (Prevention DVD) and lost 10 pounds so far. This whole process is still really scary, but I want to give a shout out to those who are just finding out--it DOES get better. And a big group hug to all those who have been there for me--thank you from the bottom of my heart.
