Highs and Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Day!  This weekend we are up north with family...
Enjoying the weather and time together.  It's a beautiful day!   Temperatures are in the high 60's.  Perfect temperature for being outside!  I  haven't been out much but it is a perfect day...

The last several months I've been trying new natural remedies to help me with the diseases and symptoms.  My goal is to get off the pharmaceutical medication and only use natural remedies.  I am sick of all the medication... I know I need them to keep the muscles from deteriorating and the diseases from progressing.

I have been swelling alot and I am having trouble with my left arm...I can feel my muscles deteriorating...it can be painful.
I am having tingling in both legs and my right arm.

I get spells where I can't find the right words or it takes time for my thoughts to get from my brain to my mouth.  It's frustrating...

I will always be thankful for all I can do.  I appreciate each moment of each day.
I will continue to stay positive and enjoy my time with family and friends.  

So very thankful for all I can do!  I am Blessed

Highs - n - Lows Living with the Disease

Another Beautiful Morning!   So many things to be thankful for...

It's been awhile since I've posted last.  I've been trying to keep focused on the positive side of life...
I've been enjoying the grandkids and I  continue to clean and decorate the house. It can be a full time job. I'm so very thankful that I can do it.

I woke up this morning at 4:30am with a really bad headache...I'm trying to get rid of it but it taking awhile...

The DM and Lupus are causing changes in my life but I will not let them get me down or run my life.  I enjoy everyday the best I can under the circumstances I'm in. 

I'm trying to keep as active as I can.  I do wish I could do more but until then I will be content with where I am.  I continue to study the bible and I want to get back into my old routine of meditation and yoga also but I have trouble staying focused. 
It's the combination of both the medication and the diseases.  I've also been having trouble with my right foot. The bone is inflamed.  I'm not getting around like I used to.  Alot slower these days. :-(

I am so grateful for all that I can do and I will continue to stay grateful for all life has to offer. So Much...

Keep your head up and your eyes on Jesus... :-)

Thank you Lord for being there for me and for providing for my every need.  Continue to show me Your grace. Thank you for providing me strength and Your peace as I travel on my daily journey.  Take away all the pain and light sensitively.  Some days it can be tough...really tough. Guard me from all negativity. Amen and Amen!
