A healing journey with an autoimmune disease like Lupus is not straightforward. It's "try this, try that, and the other thing." It's trial and error, two steps forward, one step back. It is slow and gradual improvement. It's tears, pain, and worry. But, it is also hope, strength, and a distilled and clear vision of what life is about and all the reasons to hang on and keep going...
