Good And Bad News

The good news is I don’t have Lupus.  That bad news is I don’t have Lupus.  Uhm, Ari?  How is that bad news too, you ask?  It’s bad news because nobody seems to know what I have.  While I wasn’t actually thrilled with the possibility of Lupus, I had prepared for the confirmation and was at least comforted by the fact that I could start some type of treatment plan for it.  So after waiting over a month to see…

She was diagnosed with this disease when she was just a little girl and has been dealing with it all her life. She has pain in just about every part of her body all day long. Despite that, she does her best not to let it affect…
