Hello Everyone! I am a 26 turning 27 year old woman who has suffered with SLE Lupus and other Cross Connective Tissue disorders for the last 8 years. I have lost a sister to this terrible disease and I now find myself battling it as well. I have never really felt the need to go outside my own support system to find comfort, but I currently have been coming across some difficult trials that really seem to try my Faith and self esteem. I have never blogged before so this is all very new to me. I decided that right now that this is a time in my life that I am really needing encouragement and advice from fellow people who are also dealing with all the trials and heartache that accompanies this awful and frustrating disease. I have quiet a story on how I was diagnosed with Lupus and feel the need to share it with others.
I guess, I have signed up to blog because more than anything I just need a way to vent out the feelings that weigh heavy on my heart and on my mind. I also was suggested by a friend who is fighting her own battle with cancer that this may be a way for me to meet other young woman who may be going through the same battles I find myself in. I also have realized that it's in the moments that I can encourage and reach out to others that somehow those words find a way back to my own ears and speak to my own heart. I'm really excited to have found this website and I look forward to reading and sharing stories, information and ideas with everyone.
In Friendship,
Coolbeans
