I wish I could say "I fell better", but that would be a lie.
It would seem with Lupus, you never know what is around the next corner.
Always a surprise. I, now, have been getting bumps, not a rash, on my face and arms. They kind of look like hives, but do not itch very much. The day after I get them, the bumps have a small scab on them. I have no idea what this is about.
My pain, except for my ribs, is horrible, at times and the stiffness is awful. Brain fog has become all to familiar and my spiral into the depths of sickness seems unstoppable.
But, I find comfort in my Lord and have constant communion with Him. He is my strong tower.
My ministry to others has pick up and this helps me to keep my mind off of the Lupus. Helps me to not be defined by the disease. I am a child of God, not a body who goes by Lupus. I am wonderfully and perfectly made.
I have been busy crocheting. Love to crochet. Such fun. Here is my latest project.
Pretty happy about the way it turned out.
There seems to be lots of activities in my life that help to keep my mind off of what is happening to my body. So much better than laying around thinking about it. Life is and can be good.

My grandmom was healed of Lupus...
Sidharth
I thought I was healed as well. I came near to death at one point. Then 8 friends went on a 30 day fast and prayer and the 2nd week I cam out of it. For 3 or 4 years I had no symptoms. Not a one.
Then I entered back into ministry in a powerful way and lo and behold Lupus was back. Go figure.
It has not overtaken me, I continue to stand on the promises of God and to recognize this as an attack that will become victory for our Lord.
Hey Sis;
Your comment on my blog really did give me a lift. Amazing what a few kind words will do for an ailing body/spirit/heart. Thanks so much. I too thank God for natural remedies. I'm sure glad the Noni helps you! I found many supplements that help me, and monthly I am approached by another multi-level marketing product seller who is sure they can cure me, and when I tell them I can't afford to try every new one that comes along, and that I listen to the Holy Spirit, who tells me which would be ok to try and which would make me worse, I often get told that I just want to be sick, and I never hear from that friend again. Oh well. I can only control my own feelings, not theirs. I LOVE your picture if Dr. House saying "It's not Lupus!" Have you seen the You-tube montage of all the times he has said "It's not lupus"? lol. I think one of the writers must have a wife or daughter with lupus and realizes that it can mimic so many other diseases. I'm fighting pnuemonia at the moment. What a horrid disease! It's even worse when mixed with lupus and my other health problems and am alone with no help to help me change my drenched clothes or to get into a tub or to get more drinks...so doing the best I can to keep a drink by my bed and have only had the strength to bath every couple of days, but this too shall pass. Love ya sister in Christ!

Bluebirdy,
I am so sorry you are going through so much. I wish I could help. Thanks for the tip on the You tube. I'm going to put it on my other blog for a little education.
I pray for you whenever I think of you.
Heal of Allergies
Please do read this simple testimony.
Names don't matter- whether it's Lupus or headache, they're all same for Him.
I was healed of cancer of the bones and muscles. I do not have muscles on my right shoulder, but I received a miracle and now I can move my arm around freely like my other arm.
My grandmom never received her healing because she believed that Lupus was a cross the Lord wanted her to carry. But when I explained to her what it meant to carry her cross, she realized that what she believed was actually against what it actually meant. I am not moved by physical symptoms of a disease, once you believe you are healed, your faith may be tested.
I'm standing in faith for you, my sister.
Sidharth
Sidharth,
How wonderful of you to share your testimony with me. I praise God for what He has done for you. His mercy and grace are wonderful and for everyone.
I agree with everything you are saying. I do believe in my healing. I have seen many miracles in my life and understand that I am a walking miracle.
I have a very close relationship with God and know that, again, what I am going through, right, now will again pass and the answer to "why" will be revealed.
My challenge in the flesh, is to not define myself as Lupus and to not listen to the enemy. Catching every thought to the obedience of God.
God bless you Sidharth
Dear Sidharth;
I see here is your profile page
http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826074951831941076
But I can't figure out how to write to you! No email is there, and the yahoo contact in the upper left hand corner of your profile page did not work for me. I only know how to reach you by leaving a comment under where you left comments. I hope Given55 will forgive me for posting this to find you. Write to me at penlady5@shaw.ca .When you write to me, please tell me your email address so we can keep in touch. When I can get your email address, I will answer all your questions and we can discuss this lady that needs healing from Cancer.
Blessings!
Bluebirdy
Bluebirdy,

I am sure he will be of great help to you.
