I do believe that stress helped bring my lupus on. I was under a lot of tension working two jobs (seven days a week), I just became a new mother with really no help from my child's father, and a full time student. One day I just got sick and could not recover. I had just become saved, and not even 60 days later I had fevers, blood blisters in my mouth, ulcers, fatigue, no platelets, anemia, and my body bruised to the touch.I made history that day. The doctors could not believe that I had hardy no platelets and I was still alive. I got admitted to the ICU instantly. I could not understand why or what God was doing, but I no way, no how wanted him in my life at the time. But later on I realized that He does everything for a reason. I don't know why I had to go through it but I am actually making it through! I cant possibly give up on God....because he will never give up on me. This is a test and trial and I am walking out on faith.
Lupus is so hard to live with and it feels like no one really understands. I have to encourage myself and I have realized that I have to do alot on my own. As long as I have God on my side I can do all things.
