Well, here goes I guess. I have never blogged before, but I guess that won't be a problem now. I was diagnosis with lupus a little over a year now. I can't believe how fast a year has gone by and what a huge difference it makes (I mean literally and mentally). You wouldn't recognize me six months ago. I gained over 20 lbs while on prednisone and that is a lot for someone of my small frame. Thank God, I am not on prednisone anymore!!! No more moon face. Those of you that have taken prednisone, probably knows what I am talking about. I use to look in the mirror and I would see another girl staring back at me. It was very uncanny. Well, I am finally back to my former self and couldn't be happier.
After 8 months of being in hiatus, I am finally back at Cal and loving every moment of it. My new motto in life is to feel the sunshine on my face everyday (even when there is no sunshine). I am enjoying the little pleasures that i usually take for granted like dancing in the rain, and smelling the roses. I know that there is no cure for lupus and I have accepted that. But sometimes when I am experiencing a flare-up, I would ask why me?
xoxo,
Kat
