My Ribbon
RibbonDateWhy I wear this ribbon
purple_ribbon.gifPurple Ribbon 10/26/2007I wear this ribbon because I am fighting a daily battle with SLE, fibromyalgia, and several other autoimmune diseases. I want to be proactive in spreading awareness and trying to find a cure.

A little about me: I am a mother of two and have successful career as an opera singer. I also enjoy doing musical theater and have toured with many Broadway productions. The first 15 years of my life I was a competitive figure skater and competed at the international level.I got very sick and had to stop skating. I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE)at 15. I also have fibromyalgia, raynouds, sjogrens, vasculitis,RA, degenerative disk disease, lupus nephritis, and neuropothy, and just found out I have osteoporosis in my spine and right hip. I try to live life to the absolute fullest on the days that I can, and try to remain thankful for those days when I cant.

My name is Erica, and i also have lupus, sjogrens fibromyalgia, RA, & raynauds. Recently i have had unbearable pain in my arms that feels like someone is pulling them off of me. From what i have read it may be neuropathy. I have no medical insurance so i need to know what type of medicine maybe they put you on, that can possibly help me, so i can find out the cost ahead of time and prepare. There are so many things happening to me at this time that i have a hard time remembering all of them. I would appreciate it extremely if you could give me some ideas. Thank you so much and may God Bless You. I am 29 yrs old and like you have 2 children, ages 1yr. old and 9. In fact my mother is typing this because i have little movement in my fingers as i have RA in my hands. It is hard to hold my baby.
