My first year was probably the hardest, getting use to the medication, being in the hospital, & not knowing what was wrong..it killed me inside! I wanted the doctors to tell me that i just a minor Sickness & i would be fine in a few days, but they didn't. when they walked in my room at Queen of valley hospital & the doctor gave me a look like something was seriously wrong, i just remember the tears falling down my face. He told me i had a serious disease that not only wasn't curable but i would have forever, right then & there i just went numb, & thought about everything & everyone! MY FAMILY, FRIENDS, & ABOUT MYSELF!
They transferred me to long beach millers children's hospital & i was in there for quite a while, about a month. The doctors kept telling me i was a strong girl & i would get through this just fine, but i thought they were just making me feel good. I had 9 out of the 11 symptoms of lupus, i was strong before i got lupus & i am going to stay strong no matter what, because i know ill be fine. I have everything i need in life, my family, friends & my self confidence! They say everything happens for a reason, i wish i knew the reason for why this happened to me, but i don't. i don't know why bad things happen to people but I'm just hoping something good will come out of it someday! i didn't know how strong i really was until being strong was the only choice i had left. I'm sharing this with you because i want you all to understand that this walk isn't just a walk, its a chance to change lives & not just mine but for anyone who is surviving or losing their lives to Lupus!
Please Walk With me or donate on this memorable day! it means more then the world to me, Anything matters a penny could change the lives of others!
