Lupus...what do you say about it?  It brings on such a mountain of emotions and information.  My story is no different.  I have had my ups and downs just like everyone else but you have to try and keep the positivity.  That is always going to be the hardest thing for me to do.  My support system is incredible though and I don't think I would be at this place in my life if it wasn't for them.  As a person with Lupus you have to be able to rely on the ones that you love and love you.  

In your everyday life with Lupus all you need to know is that you are not alone and that your feelings are valid!  Don't ever let people tell you to "get over it" or to "suck it up" because you're doing most incredible things on a daily basis.  I share this because there are days that getting out of bed is the most impressive thing I do and there are other days that I feel like I can move heaven and Earth.  Do what you CAN, because it really truly amazing! 

Don't ever stop moving, stretching, loving, sharing and listening.  Your story is important.  Remember, a body at rest stays at rest so KEEP MOVIN'!
