Daily Strength! Thank you for being here with me!!

I have begun making friends!  Thank you all for your daily Journals and Posts!  Finally, I know I am not alone.  I gather strength thru your words.  I wake up and begin absorb every  word everyone is entering.  I am really excited about the groups: Lupus and MCTD, so far.  I have so many illnesses I will be joining all pertinent groups as I gather strength.  I am currently going through a MCTD and Lupus flare for the second time this month.  All of you are helping me battle all these diseases.  I will begin to contact more when I get stronger.  Yesterday, I didn't think I had enough strength to fight my Lupus/MCTD plus more...  Daily Strength has given me hope.  I finally got five hours of sleep last night.  During those five hours I awoke to dry mouth and really bad dry eyes.  I also had severe pain and swelling in my hands, elbows, neck, knees, and feet.  My spine hurts all night.  I have begun coughing too.  It was rough but I have hope now with this promising new group of friends.  Thanks to everyone for sharing your good and bad daily outcomes.  I feel my hope is out there now.
