It has been a while since I have written about my disease and struggles.  I am suffering from a debilitating migraine that just won't let up.  As I type I am sitting here with all the shades pulled and sunglasses on trying to overcome the pain and nausea.  Unfortunately, I can't just go to bed, if I could I would.  This morning was an excruciating experience of Crohn's that left me depleted from dealing with the pain.  It really isn't an easy life or existence most of the time.  I really envy those who are able to get this disease into remission.  On top of all this my Lupus has started to flare again and it hurts to sit down in a chair.  If I wasn't living this myself it would almost be unbelievable but there are so many of us out there.  The good news is that we are a strong group that support each other.  We face hard daily challenges but we are always there with a kind word for each other.  If it wasn't for my Crohnie friends this struggle would be more unbearable than it already is, people and faced I have never met face to face but yet their kindness and outreach means more to me than anything.  Thank you,
