About Lupus Love

Lupus love? Are you kidding me? What's to love about Lupus? Exactly! Nobody knows about the good side of having a chronic illness because nobody talks about it. Nevertheless, there are plenty of positive things going on in the lives of us Lupies.

Like what? Well, like empathy, understanding and wisdom. Like finding the deeper meaning of life. Like finding peace within yourself. Like feeling the love around you more deeply. Like cutting the unnecessary baloney out of your life so you can get to the good stuff.

Plus, there's a lot of funny stuff that happens only to us Lupies. And laughter really is the best medicine, you know. Trust me, it works. But what if you can't laugh because you're in so much pain?

Lupus symptoms like chronic pain are incredibly difficult to live with. I know. It's excruciating. It's unrelenting. And worse of all, it's permanent. Ya, that's probably the hardest realization to take. Lupus is not going away, no matter what you or I do. That's all very true, but....

I think that plenty has been said about all that. I think that in the case of chronic illness, it's about time someone had something good to say. And that's exactly what's going to be happening on this blog. Believe it or not, I find something good about having Lupus every day.

I think sharing that will be good for me. I think it will lift me up and help me forget the bad stuff. More importantly, I think it will help you, whether you have Lupus or not. So please, follow me. Friend me. And share the Lupus love with me.

One day at a time. We can do this!
