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.

You cannot break up with LUPUS no matter how many scars she leaves you with, or how many sleepless and painful nights you spend with her. I know this for a fact because I have been living with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus for almost 14 years now. I talk about the disease as if its a person because we are in a relationship together. I have to consult my lupus about every decision I make in my life. Over the past few years my Lupus has become the Dominant one in the relationship and that's just not something that I can allow to happen anymore. It is a part of me and I understand that, but We have to learn to live together in harmony. That is what this Blog is about, Living with Lupus(sle), Finding Creative ways to Co-Exist. You don't have to have Lupus, It may be another disease or maybe just the daily struggle. I just hope I can help and inspire someone and in return someone can help and inspire me. No matter what we are going through At the end of the day LIFE is worth LIVING.
