So when I first started this blog page I wanted to write about makeup. And I did for a while, however, I start to shift my focus. Now, does that mean I will longer write about it? No! I will write about makeup but I will also write about things I would like to write about.
You see I do so love makeup but I also love movies, comic, books, dancing, and everything in between. I want to be able to talk about anything I want and hear others opinions. I would like to share what I went through during the day and weeks just to get myself out-there. So with that being said this is going to be a new blog setting. Writing about everything and anything.
So what have I been up too? Well since the last time I wrote I said I just found I had Rheumatoid Arthritis and I also have a mild case of SLE Lupus.
What is it and what does it mean?
Okay, so RA is a auto-immune disease that attacks the joints and your immune system. It causes swallowing of the joint and aches and pains. It can also affect your everyday lives. Symptoms include but varies from fatigue, loss of energy, muscle and joint aches, and stiffness. During flare ups the joints become swollen and painful. And yes it hurts "A LOT". It can affect any and all joints. I usually loss movement with my hands because of flare ups. Also my knees, back and shoulders, but the worst part comes from the feet. I use to be able to walk for long periods of time or stand for that long. Since the disease if I stand on my feet for more the an hour or so my feet begins to hurt as well as my back and my feet start to swell up. And let me tell you it is not a pretty sight.
What about the Lupus?
The SLE Lupus which is Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Yes long name I know) is a chronic inflammatory condition caused by an auto immune disease case in point RA. Now not everyone who has RA has SLE Lupus however it is sometimes hard to tell because both has one or more of the same symptoms.
What does this mean for me?
Nothing much really. I do have my good days and bad days which I will be getting to later on and yes their are medications but I don't take any which I will tell you more about later on.
OOOOHHHH NNNNNOOOOO I'm sorry to leave you hanging I really do. But come one I can be here for years like serious I will be here a long time writing about this. But for more information you guys can go check these websites www.arthritis.org and www.lupus.org.
So this is all I have for now I will be back soon whether to write about more of my condition or just to write about the crappy or happy day I am having. Whichever works =)
Until Then.........................
