This blog is dedicated to the women who live with an illness, and still manage to live life to the fullest. Living with an illness can be very difficult. I am here to share useful information, experiences and support. We have to take control, and learn to love our life. When my favorite pair of jeans don't fit...I just go buy another pair! ღ
I am a 28 year old living with Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I am committed to raising public awareness of lupus, as well as share useful health information.

LSF is just getting started, so we really need donations and other funding sources to get the ball rolling. Please support our efforts. Every dollar counts and will be helpful!! Thanks a million!!
We all know that May is Lupus Awareness Month, but today just happens to be World Lupus Day. We ask everyone to wear Purple or Orange to spread awareness and support of Lupus. You can find information on www.worldlupusday.org. Many regions around the world are celebrating World Lupus Day in their own special way. Below you will find information about how the United States (Lupus Foundation of America) is spreading awareness on World Lupus Day.
Group: Lupus Foundation of America -- National OfficeEvent: World Lupus Day is just one of the featured events in a month-long observance of Lupus Awareness Month in the United States. As part of the observance, the LFA is engaging constituents through its social networking sites, including Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and the LFA Blog to secure commitments by individuals and organizations to do one thing to raise awareness of lupus.
