HI EVERYONE! MY NAME IS JEANI, 50 YRS. OLD. DIVORCED BUT LIVING WITH

EX!! HE'S WONDERFUL-BUT TRY AS HE MIGHT-CANNOT UNDERSTAND LUPIES! I

AM ALSO THE CARETAKER OF MY 81 YR. YOUNG DAD. I WAS DIA. IN 1991-BY

MY MOTHER FIRST-WHO HAD LUPUS FOR 20 YEARS BY THEN. AND THEN BY A

DOCTOR. I LIVE IN ARKANSAS WHERE THE FRONTS SEEM TO PASS EVERY FEW

DAYS AND KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET. I HAVE 4 GROWN KIDS AND 5 GRANDCHILDEN

AND A 6TH DUE ON JULY 4TH. I'M EXCITED ABOUT EACH AND EVERYONE. IF I

HAD KNOWN THEY WERE SO MUCH ENJOYMENT--I'D HAD THEM FIRST! KIDDING-I

LOVE MY FAMILY. MY MOTHER PASSED AWAY IN 1999 FROM COMPLICATIONS OF

LUPUS. AND I HAVE 2 SISTERS WITH LUPUS. MY SISTERS HAVEN'T HAD NEAR

THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD. I HAVE FIBRO, RAYNAUDS, SCLERDERMA, CARDIO-

VASCULAR, IBS, COPD, ASTHMA, AND AM ON PREDINSONE FOR THE LAST 10

YEARS. I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY PREDINSONE. I WAS TOLD IN APRIL I

HAVE LUPUS OF THE BRAIN BECAUSE I HAVE HAD A MIGRAINE FOR 13 MONTHS.

UNTIL LAST WEEK-ALL THE DOCS WANTED TO DO IS DOPE ME UP AND SEND ME

HOME. I FINALLY GOT SENT TO A HEADACHE CLINIC AND THAT DOC SAYS I

HEADACHE HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON ME AND MY FAMILY. EVEN MY 3 DOGS HAVE

Hi Jeani! I noticed that you mentioned lupus runs in your family. It does in mine to. My name is a C, we have a a B sometimes, and I am 35. I have been married for 14 years in July and my husband and I have my nephew, four adopted kids, three foster to adopt kids and one renta baby (foster) that will be leaving us in a month or so. Funny that you mentioned grandkids being more fun. My dad says the same exact thing, that he would have had them first, he also has the bumper sticker that says my grandkids are cuter than yours. I keep telling him he is going to get himself hurt over that one some day! lol
