Re: Re: Frustrated (Shelby)

Dear Shelby,

Thank you!! Yes, you have helped me very much! I was feeling so alone with this and although I don't wish for anyone to suffer, somehow it's reassuring to know that others have experienced what you have and you feel somewhat validated. I know that sounds really awful, but I hope you and others know what I mean. It's like before I was diagnosed with lupus, I had no name to put to how I was feeling or it's cause. I would get so upset because I felt so sick but couldn't explain why and there were many who thought it was in my head or that I was just some sort of whimp for not being able to handle pain as well as others. There are times I still feel like this, but at least it has a name now.

Anyway, thank you for your input. I really appreciate your help!

Hugs,
