Days like today, I feel too defeated to even type. Today I was told I can never have children naturally by carrying and that my eggs aren’t viable. I am devastated. I have no words to comprehend or explain the amount of grief I feel at this moment. I don’t know how to go on right now… #Infertility #AntiphospholipidSyndrome #Lupus #LupusAwarenessMonth

Mother’s Day for the Yearning & Hurting

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms!

Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who are hurting- from infertility, from broken families, breaking generational traumas, or loss.

1 in 4 women will experience a miscarriage- mommas, Happy Mother’s Day. I know it hurts.

If you’re like me, if you’re living with so many diseases and illnesses that your womb can’t possibly carry a little one and your number of miscarriages is so high it physically hurts to count… momma, I see you.

If you’re like me, and you’re absolutely terrified that one day you’re little rainbow baby might come down with all your illnesses and then what… momma, I hear you.

If you’re like me, and the doctors have told you to simply keep your IUD in because it’s easier than giving yourself a shot in the stomach daily to have the small chance of keeping yourself and your baby alive… momma, you are not alone.

If you are yearning to be a mother this Mother’s Day and it’s just not in the cards… hug your animals close, because you are still valid. Every emotion and tear is valid.

Today, I celebrate Mother’s Day as a dog mom.
Today, I celebrate with my 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog, Beyla, at Cars and Coffee.

Lagging but accomplished #LupusAwarenessMonth

I have been having a hard time lately because I am having severe pain in the bones of my hands and swelling. Also is elevated blood pressure and a fast heart rate. Is that a symptom of the disease of Lupus?

Has anyone else been diagnosed with Lupus Profundus or Panniculitis?

I was diagnosed with SLE about four years ago and given Hydroxycloroquine and sent home with no education. Without MyLupusTeam and a lot of internet research, I wouldn't have known what to watch out for as far as alarming symptoms. This one is a doozy! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. 🙏 #LupusDiagnosis #lupusprofundus #LupusAwarenessMonth
