Hi, my name is Connie, I am 43, a farmers wife, have two kids, son that is 12 and a daughter that is 6. I got Officially diagnosed with Lupus in 2008, and since we have no insurance, I dont go to the doctor unless I have to:) Kind of self medicate with herbal treatment etc. but have to go for the skin rashes etc. I can deal with the problems but the one thing i cannot deal with mentally is the severe Fatigue. When you just cant "go" and there is sooo much to do:)
Hope to learn from others here , thanks!
Nice to meet you! I too understand work being demanding .....I am a stay at home mom with 4 kids! My husband works long hours so we even tease im basically a single parent for the child care! Its a lot and energy is definitely a fight. I find a low sugar diet helps and vitimins and a good nights sleep. but there are days where I feel like someone drugged me! it is what it is and I know when I have that day or those days I need to slow down! Take care of yoursefl b/c no one else will!!!
I know the feeling. I am a single working mom. If it wasn't for my parents I am living with now I wouldnt be able to afford to work with all the bills and child care. I know for me on days I am so drained it is hard to get up and moving. I know I have spent yrs doing meditation and vizualaztion to help me deal with my pain and fatuige. I spend at least some time each day in a quiet place and do my deep breathing with my meditation and it helps a great deal for me. I use vizualations now when I get real bad. I know when I ate an organic diet it helped a ton. I wish you the best and keep your chin up. You are not alone sweetie.
