LUPUS AWARENESS, a battle we won't give up on

If I had to explain my life, I would say it comes with ups and downs /a

About Me

My name is Terri and I have had Lupus (SLE) for 14yrs now. I got a kidney transplant on Oct. 23, 2007. I couldn't believe it at first cause it had been 6yrs that I had been waiting for that day to come. All that time I spent on Dialysis. The doctors are tapering me off little by little on my blood pressure medication. I am ..cept and Prograf so my kidney won't reject my body. I'm so relieved now that I don't have to go to dialysis anymore. Now I'm free to take trips and go back to college. I'm finally happy for once in my life. All you can do is live one day at a time. Be as happy as you can and enjoy life cause this is our one and only life we have and we got to make the best of it even though we have obstacles to overcome. We might have pains,fevers,chemo,surgeries,or organ failure,but we are still here fighting the good fight of Lupus awareness. Don't ever give up. If you feel ill one day think about tomorrow being a better day without pain or feeling ill. We all look forward to a better day. I pray for all of you to have a better day, a painless day, and a day that will come soon with a cure.

glitter-graphics.comCo Q-10 100mg- helps support a healthy heart. It contains antioxidant properties that help fight free radicals in the body. Free radical damage in conjunction wit antioxidant deficiency has been observed in patients with chronic renal failure. Treatment with Coenzyme Q-10 reduces serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen and increases creatinine clearance and urine output in patients with chronic renal failure. I take 100mg everyday and it has gotten rid of my heart murmur and has kept me urinating through out my 6yrs in dialysis. I didn't take it before so it might have helped me from going to dialysis so soon 6yrs ago. I'm still grateful that at least I'm hanging in there.

Courtesy of MsTags.comI've been through alot more than Lupus or Kidney failure. I want to also support all those women out there that have been physically, emotionally, and verbally abused. I can relate cause I have been through all of that. You get over it in your own way and move on with your life but you can never forget. There's reminders everyday in Movies and T.V. that show those horrific images of women being abused. Those images make me so angry that I change the channel everytime. My abuser made sure he made me feel as low as dirt. He kept my self-esteem very low. He used my Lupus against me by telling me "NO ONE WOULD WANT A SICKO LIKE ME AND A BALD GIRL LIKE ME" it was during the time I lost my hair cause of the lupus and the medication. I actually believed him around that time and I would cry cause I did think no one would want me ever cause I'm sick. He knows he's wrong now. There is someone that cares and accepts me for who I am with Lupus or no hair and kidney failure. You women out there are strong to overcome this. We need to fight back on men who do wrong to women. The most important step to do right now is leave your abuser before it's too late. When I finally left it was such a relief and feeling of freeness. No one to answer to, no more living in fear, and so much more happier and stress free. I know its not that easy at first,but you will realize one day "what am I doing in this hell" "I want to be happy and not waste this one life I have with this asshole". For all of you that have escaped from an abusive realtionship, much power to you. Never fall in that trap again. Find the right guy that will make you feel happy and safe. That one guy that will accept you for you.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet anyone else that is going through the same thing that I am going through. At this time I really don't know anyone that has Lupus. I usually keep to myself but I am ready to meet others that will understand how I feel. Others around me don't understand cause they don't have Lupus and will never know how it feels to have it. The pain, the depression, the hairloss, and the feeling of tiredness that can be so much sometimes and etc... I deal with it one day at a time and thats all we can do for now until they find a cure.
