| A little about me: | My name is Amy and I'm 40 years old, and live in a small town in Iowa. I am blessed with a great husband, two beautiful daughters, and a wonderful son-in-law. And in July we'll have a grandbaby :-) I was diagnosed with Lupus 17 years ago and was in total denial. My mother passed away at the age of 57 (11 years ago) with complications to her Systemic Lupus. In helping take care of her, I realized that I certainly did not want Lupus. And besides, I was young, healthy, and felt just fine- well, for the most part. So I didn't go to the doctor after being diagnosed. Stupid me!! A couple of years ago, I started having what I thought to be a bad Lupus flare. I went to the rheumatologist (actually seeing two different ones in the office). I still test possitive for Lupus, but don't have many symptoms. So, they aren't quite sure what's going on with the Lupus part. For now the're saying my main issues are: Fibromyalgia, Myofacial Pain, Anemia, IBS, Fatigue, Depression, Anxiety, High BP, Migraines, etc. |
