It is very hard to comprehend why any of this happens to anybody. It's really important that she doesn't feel like it's her fault just because she was under so much stress during her reviews. Who knows if it wouldn't have happened anyway, you know? She's lucky to have you to stand beside her though this, she needs all the moral support she can get and it sounds like you are right there for her. Good man! I wish you both good luck, and have a merry christmas to you too! Hi Mark,

Christmas is just days ahead and its very sad.. though we want to enjoy the season of breeze we cant because her muscles ache and this makes her really depressed. we hope we could get through this. i told her that we will always be together in every step that we make.. and for every trials we encountered in our life.. i hope for all the wellness for all of us and with Love and Faith, i believe we could all get through this. thanks a lot Ma'am and have a wonderful day!

Oh good news, good news, we need more of it! :) Sounds like he has a great attitude about his disease and his bored immune system, lol!!! I am working towards that goal; acceptance. I read a really great article this morning about how acceptance can change how we deal with our pain. I hope to one day become as positive as your husband. Stop by again any time!! take care and be well, Michelle Hi Tiffany,

My husband has MS, which is also an autoimmune disease and my great-aunt has lupus. It is scary that the body can do this. My husband is rarely sick. The last time he had the flu was back when he was 7 and he's 28 now. I keep telling him, "see your immune system is too good, it attacks both bad and good", he says, "it gets bored." :) Thanks a bunch and I wish you the best of luck! Thank you Michelle for sharing!

I let my blog sit and I feel bad about it. This is my baby! lol. Isn't the song just so right on? I cried when I heard it. The lyrics literally gave me a chill and the video is amazing. I think that representing here as being frozen and thawing is about as close as you can get to analogy of how it is when you are having one of those all nighters. Congrats on your remission and I'm so sorry about your RA diagnosis. That is just plain unfair. I'm glad you are doing well with it. I've had so many problems with finding the right meds that when I hear of someone finding the one on the first try I give an Amen. Thank you for the thank you. I intended for this to reach someone when I started it, I'm really glad it has reached a few. Come back again anytime. (I'll start writing again. Soon. lol) take care and be well Michelle Hey Tanja Jean,

I heard the song and I loved it....after the song was over the dj remarked that Rob Thomas wrote it for his wife and their struggle with her Lupus...I started to cry...the song represents the struggle my husband and I have had dealing with my Lupus for the past 18 years....good news I was told this year I am in remission...YEA!!! but now I have been told I have RA! I cried...my feet & hands have become quite deformed in the last year...but I am on a new medicaton (Humira) that has made me feel much better. I still work full-time and I have wonderful family and friends....great doctors...and a lot of Faith. I have my sad moments which we refer to as my "pity party" and I am the only one invited :) I usually I stay anywhere from an hour to a day or two then I get bored and leave :) My husband has taught me it is ok to cry and it ok to say it's not fair...but it is also ok to live life and move forward...so that is where I am at...just living my life the best I can...loving every minute. Thanks for having your blog, it is nice to know there are places out there for support! Also thank you Rob Thomas for bringing this subject to the general public.
