Depressed and optimistic, is that possible?

Michelle — Fri, 07 May 2010 23:16:15 +0000

I have dropped off the radar again. Not intentionally; the days just seem to meld into one long day, and I’ve been so sick, time is getting away from me. I haven’t talked to my best friend in at least a month. Again, not intentionally. I’ve written so many ‘I’m sorry’ emails [...]

Have lupus? The Lupus Alliance of America needs your help

Michelle — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 09:54:03 +0000

In the beginning of my illness, I was told that I had lupus. I immediately went home, cried, then read everything I could get my hands on. I was online reading medical journal material, lupus blogs, lab reference sites, everything and anything (except for sites with no reputation, and the ‘cure all’ sites, ugh).

Here’s a little info from Julian Lennon about Lucy. I really like the song, it’s catchy. Check out the video, it’s an interesting story, and remember you can download the song from iTunes and portions of the proceeds goes equally to The Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) and the St. Thomas Lupus Trust in London.

What is Lupus?

Michelle — Tue, 05 May 2009 18:53:17 +0000

I stopped by my You Tube account the other day and I’m glad I did. I got a message from Chandra, (theleepchatchannel), telling me about her new campaign for awareness. It’s called LEEP for Lupus ™. I really liked her video that described what lupus was. If you’d never heard of lupus, her video [...]

It’s hard to believe another year has blown by and it’s March and with that the LFA’s Advocacy Day. This time last year I was under the impression that I had lupus. All of my symptoms were ‘lupus-like’ (still are) and after my first blood work came back with a [...]

to the LA Lupus Lady for doing her thing, again! She really inspires me and I am so thankful that she gets out there, tirelessly I might add, and is promoting every event and every chance to raise money and awareness for lupus. I posted last month about the event that’s still come in [...]

Blowing up my blog and handbags for Lupus!

Michelle — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:23:32 +0000

OK, I know nothing about code. HTML code or any other kind of code. sigh. I got on the other day to write a post and I thought I would add this widget from a certain Social Networking site that rhymes with Casebook and blammo. I lost half of my blog. I got most [...]

My heart breaks for Chelsea

Michelle — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:11:04 +0000

I just got finished reading a most disturbing story of a teen who had lupus and died. She disagreed with the doctors treatment and wanted to go off of her meds because she felt the complications were ultimately hurting her worse than the disease. She wanted to look into other holistic options. DFC charged [...]
