I'm a Survivor, not a Victim

Question:

Hi All, I’m so grateful to have found this support group!  This has been a tough couple of years for me.  I first noticed skin rashes on my arms and face shortly after I gave birth to my daughter. It wasn’t until two years later, when I went in to see a dermatologist about my acne, did he notice the lesions on my arms, and did a biopsy which came out to having Discoid Lupus.  I’ve had several other serious tragedy’s in my life. Shortly after my husband and I seperated, he decided to spite me and kidnapped my then 2 year old baby.  For the past year and a half, I’ve endured great stress in looking for her and dealing with various investigators, police, attorneys, so on and so forth.  My dermatologist told me the chances of developing internal Lupus was rare, however, sadly enough, I was just diagnosed with it a couple weeks ago.  I wanted to believe the tiredness, dizzy spells, and achy joints were just from my endless search for my little girl.  Sometimes life just doesn’t seem fair.  I feel like I’ve hit a dead end and have nowhere to go.  But I can’t and won’t give up!  Ive got a precious child out there who needs me!  I’m a fighter, but I don’t know the tools to use in which to fight. If there is anyone out there who can share anyways to cope I’d grately appreciate it! Thank you so much for letting me share. Summer

About the only thing I can do for you at this point is pray-which I will! I have two young children too and can’t imagine what you’re going through.  God Bless. Cindy
