Battling Scleroderma (lupus)
I would like to share a personal issue I have been dealing with since 1999 my daughter was 3 years old I was married to her father when I was diagnosed with Scleroderma (lupus). I remember coming down with flu like symptoms and notice my skin changing to very hard n dark n itchy but kinda ignored it until I started losing weight and wasn't trying to and also having difficulty combing my then 3 yr old daughters hair, I then made an appointment to my medical doctor where he suggested i see a rheumatologist which i did and it was down hill since then..But i can say this i have been very blessed not to ever been committed to the hospital but i must say it has been a battle...4 yrs ago my doctors finally talked me into going on disability due to i was no longer in remission due to stress from losing my step dad that i was very fond of. well God has really blessed me I thought that being on disability was going to stop me from being a home owner which it did not 2 yrs ago i became a home owner had it built from the ground up so don't tell me nothing that God wont and cant do..So now I am wanting to become a foster mom and i pray that this is going to really help me to bless a love one. I will be needing many prayers as i explore this new journey.
