A Supermodel With Lupus: Some Fighter I Am
I, like most of you, wake up almost every day with pain or some strange new symptom that you fire up the computer for to Google.
Every day can be this constant struggle with your illness and the rest of your life. Guess which one is winning so far? If you guessed the rest of my life, you’re wrong.
Sometimes living with a disease doesn’t always mean you’re fighting it. I don’t see Lupus as some tennis match where sometimes I’m winning and sometimes I’m not.
It just IS.
I live with Lupus. I don’t fight it, I don’t demolish it, and I don’t conquer it. It’s not about winning or losing sometimes.
Some chronically ill people like to think of themselves as fighters and survivors and there is nothing wrong with that.
I see myself being dealt with a more difficult hand than most. I’m just playing my hand and waiting to see what happens.
But as for the now the score is Lupus 9607 Sonya 3…..but its not like I’m keeping tabs.
This. So much this.
