Comment on Living with AutoImmune Diseases by Rhonda Storey.
No Barb, I have never been told I have Epstein Barr thank goodness. I have always been a person who never sits still, and that’s what has been so hard on me the last 4-5 years. I get so frustrated when I give out and can’t do a project as quickly as I used to be able to. I have Fibromyalgia and Neuropathy also, so my pain never goes away. I decided to paint my entire house last June, and boy did I pay for that afterwards! Lol! But it looks great, so that made it worth it. I’m 63 now and can’t do what I used to, but I still try. It just takes me a lot longer to do something than it used to. My dear hubby gets upset with me when I start a new project because he knows how much pain I’m in, but he knows when I decide to do something, there’s nothing he can say that will stop me. Lol! He helps me too, so I am very blessed to have a husband that can do anything.

Living with AutoImmune Diseases
Hi Barb! I can SO relate to your post! I was diagnosed with Lupus in July of 1995. I was staying in the hospital with my son who had lost part of his foot in an accident, and I started feeling TERRIBLE! I can barely get out of the chair I was in so much pain. He didn’t want me to leave him, SO of course I stayed with him the entire time until he was released. I too, felt like I had a case of the flu, and I was totally exhausted. I just assumed it was from the stress of hospital sitting, but it never went away. I was very lucky to have a great doctor, so I made an appointment to see him. My Mom told me to go without ANY makeup, so he could see how bad I looked. That was VERY hard for me! Lol! He took one look at me (and my butterfly rash), and said he wanted to test me for Lupus. I thought he was crazy, but went to a Reumatologist anyway. Of course, he was right, so my journey began. It’s a hard disease to live with sometime, but I also consider myself VERY blessed when I see other people suffering from cancer, etc. I also lost my eyebrows and have hair loss too, but I still feel so blessed to be here with my family everyday. I pray you will feel better, and can find a doctor that can help you. God Bless you! Love your blog too!!!

Love them all! Don’t know how to choose, but I’m leaning toward the Salt Creek Farmhouse coffee table. Can’t wait to see which style you choose.
