I can't wish away my symptoms, however I do wish medical science would double down on stem cell research, as I believe cracking the genetic code so it can be able to make stemcells to the level of our youth then repair the body cells as it does in younger life.

HELLO, Friends 

I am suffering from neuropathy from head to toe. Especially in personal areas of my body!! I have to take narcotics to kill the pain (If I catch it in time). If I do not catch it in time 911--here I go AGAIN!!! I hate it when I live in my apt complex of 117 apts. and I do not want anyone to see me!!  Oh well, that is one problem the next when is if it is early, 2 am (any crazy hour) who will pick me up.  I would be waiting after getting a pain shot--next problem. Relief with Worry!!  I need prayers because I am suffering from more than neuropathy!!!

I guess the continued paragraph has been cut off of this post!!!!!! 

 

Many Blessings

Mickey---mickeyitaly3@aol.com

When will it go away, and will that pain return? I am writing a book about my life and living with Lupus.

I am excused and the book has been 2 years in the making. I know, if I do not finish it with GOD'S help someone will. The proceeds will go for cost but most for research--only!!! Not to pay for someone's salary only straight research.

Let us all pray this book is a success. We need more research--since hospitals like UCLA, USC has closed their Lupus Clinics. We are very short and lacking funds for them to stay open!! Please know, this bothers me!!   I am educated but can not work and I do help those who want to help themselves!!! Social Security is a problem for those of us who look normal and do not look handicapped---We need to change that way of thinking. Many of the people in my support group have been denied benefits and they can no longer keep a job----this is not good. 

The only patients that receive Social Security Disability are the CHILDREN---(that is great-but why not all of us)?? I went to the Children's Hospital and they have the best care and the most progressive treatments for Lupus. (the newest medications)--we have anti-inflammatories, anti-malarial, and chemo medications. Drugs, most doctors are still learning the effects of medications vs the effects of the disease. Let us all pray and hope that all of us will have a fighting chance to try a medication that will place us in remission.

We need to live a near-normal life and this is our goal.

May GOD help us all to have less pain!! Many Blessings and Happy Holidays!!!!!

Bipolar Disorder, please!!!   It has done a real job on my low self-esteem, low self-confidence, and overall emotions over the years, since I've endured it!!!  My creativity is at play here, but I feel I can accomplish most types of creativity on my own part anyway..... Music, art, and my overall academic performance has strictly been some of my assets....Playing piano at a young age of 6 years old,  and playing it for a number of years enthused the rest of my playing days immensely....Guitar playing for 42 years; Bass playing for 16 years, Harmonica playing for 16 years, and drumming for only 15 years, have lead to my singing and playing talents as to date....I've written two books so far....I plan to continue to write many more books as possible....15 books are already perceived to be done when I get around to doing it....Anyway, do away with it finally, for me....

Constant exhaustion. My medication for depression and panic cause such sleepiness, it's difficult to make progress with anything. Also being able to walk, as I can't feel my feet due to neuropathy.
