Lupus Stories ~ Chapter Four ~


If you are still without a diagnosis, confused and frustrated by the medical run-around, please read through the pages of Issy's LUPUS INFORMATION CENTER. There you will find answers to many of your questions and probably even some you've never considered. Contained within these pages are symptoms, statistics, little-known facts, and common mis-conceptions. There may even be something there for those of you who have already been diagnosed! I believe you will find it well worth your time. If you would like to print these pages, The Lupus Information Center is now available in Print-Friendly Pages! Also available is a new section on Social Security Disability Benefits. Be sure to check it out before you apply!

I will post your responses to the Lupus Survey as they are received! Read your post and those of others. Make friends, learn more about your disease, share emotions, and know that all-important sense of belonging. Please share your story with us!


PLEASE NOTE!

I have recently discovered that I have not been receiving all of the responses to this form!! I always reply to each submission within 2-3 days. If you do not receive an e-mail from me within that time period after submitting your response, please
e-mail { IssyMissy } with your story. I don't want to leave anyone out! Thank you and I regret this inconvenience.

"...I wish there was a way to make our lawmakers endure the process of applying for Social Security Disability. And top that with how someone with lupus feels on any given day and they might just get an idea of what we go through!!!!"

22) ~ Cathy ~
"I have learned many lessons from this disease. I've been forced to slow down and thus spend time on things like art and music. In the past, I was always too busy and in too much of a hurry. Lupus has taught me compassion and I have spent a good deal of time considering my priorities..."
