I’m sorry you have this disease. But you will be healthy again.
Just keep on thinking positively. A woman’s body needs a year to recover after birth. And then I’m sure you will feel much better.

Rhea, I knew you had been sick but I had no idea the diagnosis. My co-worker was recently diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder but they don’t know which one yet. Argh!

I know you will take great care of yourself hon. If you need anything, please let me know.

xoxo

The most important thing is that you maintain optimum health, workout (if you can only walk up the stairs a bunch of times), and providing your body with “anti-inflammatory” supplements is the key. Body cleansing and mentail health are also key factors too.

I am currently not on any meds (and I plan on keeping it that way) and I am hopeful that more women will voice their pains, struggles and stress to someone. Let it out (I say) and don’t let it poison you on the inside.

We must try our best to love and care for ourselves first. Prevention is what makes the cure a little more at arms reach. So, lets help ourselves by sharing, commenting and supporting each other.

Cheers!

Your post hits so close to home. I recently found out that I have a kidney related autoimmune disease. It has been difficult getting used to the idea that I may not live as long as I otherwise would have. I try not to think that way, but sometimes it’s tough. Also, my mother in law was recently diagnosed with the exact same thing you have. Her mother had it as well. I’m glad to see that you have so much support in your life. Without the support of my own family, I know that my kidney disease would be a much more devastating condition. Thanks for sharing.

I have been talking to a friend of mine recently who has not been doing well health wise since she had her baby. She did mention she has become very pale and she gets sick way too easily and has to take a nap when she gets home because she is so tired. Her sister had ruebella, could be wrong, after her pregnancy and her mom also had another disease after having her. I wonder what the link is between pregnancy and diseases? Thanks for sharing.
