Highs -n- Lows Living with the Disease

Sunday, February 17th

I continue to have itching on my scalp, legs and hips...I have tingling in my legs, arms, hands & between my shoulder blades...my left hand locked up again & my joints crack when I move...I am looking forward to my Dr appointment tomorrow to see how things are going..

Living with a chronic autoimmune disease can make you wonder at times whether you're up to the challenge..I continue to read about my illness, DM and to learn ways to cope...

I rest when I'm tired...learning to pace myself helps me to maintain a consistent level of energy...I try to maintain a daily routine as best as I can and continue to do the things I enjoy.

I acknowledge my emotions...
denial, anger and frustration...at times things don't seem normal or fair...feelings of fear and isolation all are common feelings when dealing with an illness....                                                        ---------------------------------------
I vow to remember that today is a new day...full of new beginnings and fresh moments...

Another great day!
