Compromising with your Lupus

"I can't stand you for the things you do to me
Everyday it hurts,never a break, don't you hear my pleas
Sick of being tired, Sick of being sick with you
When will you leave, I keep begging you to let me go ..."

Many times I have found myself in a complicated spot when dealing with S.L.E, Sometimes we get along and sometimes we don't. What I have learned is that regardless how I feel about having this disease, I can't do anything about having it. I mean, I did not pray and ask god for it, I did not ask for it for my birthday or for Christmas. It was given to me without question. Sure I have questioned why does it have to be me, I have come to realization that it was given to me because I can handle it. Not everyone is mentally or emotionally capable of dealing with this type of daily disappointment in one's body. So over the past few months I have made the decision to stop Fighting Lupus and start Compromising with it. I came to this conclusion because I was allowing the lupus to win, I felt my mental and emotional stability waning. So I came up with a few things I could implement in my life that would be beneficial to both Lupus and I.

Lupus is no Tambrin Walk!

Lupus is no Tambrin Walk, your probably wondering what that means. Growing up in Jamaica on top of a small hill they called SIPPLE ROCK, i had a lovely affair with a fruit called Tamarind. The story is, I loved it so much that I would crawl through the barbed wire fence when no one was looking and sit at the base of the tree and eat my heart's content but one day my little feet got caught in the wire and it cut me so deep and left me with a nice scar to remember her by. Needless to say we broke up that day because I don't remember liking Tamarind that much anymore.
