Well here we are at week 4 of my journey with my new best friend Lupus. Last week I talked about the naysayers and the "But you don't look sick" people and I guess the moral of the story can be don't judge. You are fighting your own battles and you have no idea what battles anyone else is fighting so think about that before passing judgement.

With that being said I want to talk about spoons. Yes, spoons. People with an autoimmune disease (such as Lupus) live and breathe by the spoons. I can try to explain it but here's a picture that does a great job of it.

That about sums that up in a nutshell so if you ever hear me refer to spoons now you know what I'm talking about. Today, for example, I feel as if most of my spoons are slotted. Sucks but such is the life of a Lupie.

Now then, I want to talk about the people who have come out of the woodwork with their miracle cure all powders and such. No offense but your Plexus, Zija, or Herbalife isn't going to cure what I have so although I appreciate you see my illness as a way to make money I'm going to have to decline. I was even contacted by someone who told me my Doctors aren't trying to cure me, they're trying to kill me. Then went on to ask why I trusted a Dr. so much with my health. Let's see....for starters, my Rheumatologist went to college for 10 years to specialize in his particular field....you, on the other hand, watched a 3 minute YouTube video to be able to sell your product. See what I'm getting at? If this stuff worked so well, it would be all over the place and literally flying off store shelves. But, as it stands you can only get it through someone and after your initial purchase, they try to get you to sell the stuff too. It's classic Multi-Level Marketing with a twist. See the problem yet?

In closing, please keep your products to yourselves because I certainly won't be purchasing any. There is NO CURE for Lupus and if there were, it certainly wouldn't cost $99.95/mo with an option to sell the product yourself. Stop asking me to try it, I won't and the more you push...the more I will say no. A little something to think about. Until next week....welcome to my life with Lupus!

Take Care!
