That's when I joined the group >>>>>>>in search for info & support, both of which I received plenty. Since I last frequented this group, I have been getting more & more ill. Lupus was attacking more of my organs & with greater severity than ever. The chemo didn't seem to be working at all & the side- effects of chemo didn't seem to be worth going through with it. I became more & more depressed & my doctors didn't have a very reassuring prognosis for me, which made me feel even worse. Lupus was winning the battle, & I stopped fighting. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>But then a wonderful thing happened... I woke up one day, feeling >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>refreshed & pain-free!

I don't mean to gloat because I know that many of you are in constant pain and discomfort, and I feel for you bcuz I know what it's like. Instead, I'd like to send hope to those of you who feel low and feel like giving up: Just hang in there, and keep on fighting because you never know when, like me, you'll wake up one day and be PAIN-FREE! Thanks again for the support you have given me. I hope to visit this group more often now that I am feeling better. Even though I haven't met many of you, my thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you as you face the daily hassles of living with the wolf.
