Thanks so much Faye. Yes, my only reason for wanting to live is to want to help others. I thank God often that I can live in this internet age if I have to be so sick.

Sheila, Bless you. But aren't we blessed with modern technology that allows us to touch each other's heart and communicate miles away from each other! You are a blessing, even though you suffer alone in a bedroom. You are not alone and God takes note of your suffering. There is a reward for those who identify in His suffering. You wil know Him in a way, others don't.
And yes indeed, others are helped by your comments. And don't you find some relief from your pain and inward struggles when you reach out to others.! God never waste anything that we are allowed to go through. In a special way you will be able to comfort others by the way you have been comforted. God bless you in a special way and make your heart lighter knowing others care deeply for you and what you are going through. Faye
Glad I could help Lisa. I know my health started to improve when I changed how I talk (think/silently) to myself, because emotional stress makes lupus worse tooo.

Hi everyone! This topic hit home with me today. I've been "overdoing it" (doing what a non lupie would to do) and hit a wall of fatigue and sadness. Sheila's words reached into my heart. I am so blessed to have found this community - I am becoming less self-critical when the bad spells roll in.
Being less self-critical when bad spells roll in........THANKS for saying that! I just realized - with today's bad spell - that I might be comin down a tad harsh on myself. Didn't realize it. I'll ease up.
