my dad was diagnosed with Lupus about four years ago. It came on so suddenly it seemed. We were having a normal day and then all of the sudden he got the butterfly rash. When we heard back from the doctors after tons of tests, we found out it was affecting his kidneys in a big way. It was really awful, the chemo worked though and it went into remission. The doctors have been steadily reducing the amount of medicine he needs, which is great. We kind of had to kick him in the butt though, he was not proactive about his health at all! now that he''s started taking care of himself he is doing much better.
My thoughts are with you and I hope you start feeling better soon!!! Hang in there girl!
(p.s. your ring on Heart of Water is gorgeous!!)
Yes, let''s hope that a cure is in the near future! There is a new drug in the works, but it won''t be approved until sometime next year, I think. Anyway, thank you for your support, as always, Deb!Date: 8/19/2009 10:12:32 PM

Lori,
Did you decide to go to Las Vegas instead of New Orleans or am I imagining New Orleans? Did you make it to Las Vegas before the lupus flared up? If not, will you be going when you feel better again? I also would like more information on the Hearts of Water ring you are going to receive. Is there somewhere I can see a picture of it? Everyone else seems to know what it looks like! I wish you a very swift recovery from your setback. Let us hope that a cure for lupus is around the corner!
Hugs,
AGBF
