TO STACY....WE NEVER TURN AWAY !

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

I'm so sorry about your family not being there for you ........Sometimes these things can draw people closer together ......we have several members who have joined our group to learn more about Lupus so that they can help their loved ones to cope, and to understand what they are going through.

At least you have your life partner, and your children......and now you have us.

We will never turn away from you!

HI.My name is stacy

I was diagnosed with lupus 9/11/02. A terrable day for us all. I am still trying to come to terms with this illness.I am so happy i found your web site. It is vey informative. I have just moved to north carilina and i am tring to find a good doctor so far no good. I will not give up hope.

A little about myself,I am 32 yrs and have 2 children My son is 13 my daughter is 10. I also have a life partner whom has been a gift from heaven to me. She does everything for this family when i am not able too. One of the loves of my life is to watch my children do their tieknowndo. They are green belts.They have 6 classes a week. And i push myself to go to them there have ben times i have not been able to go. Like all of us knows every minute of every day is a struggle.

One of the reasons i am glad i found you web site is other than the people who live with me i have no support! My mother told me after i told her i was sick that "it is to much stress for her and she would rather i did not speak to her anymore" So now i just mail her christmas pictures of the kids "not of me" she said she does not want to see me either" Most i can gather out of it is that she is just selfish and does not want to be a mother to me. Only to her heathy chidren. Who by they way do not speak to me ether. I think they are afaid she will find out. Enough of that.

I am generally a happy person considering the pain and everything else. I love my life even with lupus because i share it with my kids and my life parner. And they are every reason to wake up in the morning.
