I have had somethings on my mind recently. One of those being my friend Michelle who is dealing with Lupus. She gets these painful spots all over her body and some have even began to bleed. She is having such a heard time finding a treatment plan that works for her. Sometimes it has even made it worse. I have learnt a lot from her about Lupus. I have heard of it before but never understood what exactly it was. I still have so much to learn about lupus and hope that someday they are able to find a magic pill or treatment to help people suffering from lupus live normal lives. See Michelle has lost a lot due to this autoimmune disease. She is no longer able to live the life she use to such as enjoying the outdoors without being covered completely and is pretty much confined to her home. Any sunlight causes her to have bad reactions and break out in those painful sores. I honestly wish for this reason that marijuana was legal in our state so she could maybe have some sort of relief from the pain.Then there is my handsome and daring nephew. This boy is so full of life. But recently his mom has come out and told us that one day on the bus he came home with marks from where a little girl had stabbed him with a pen. She has also threatened to kill him. He is only in grade school and has to deal with this. People need to raise their children right instead of sitting on Facebook all day and not taking time to interact with their children. Breaks my heart to know he is going through this. What has this world come to?
I have several friends who suffer chronic pain on a daily basis. Yes i know there are pain medicines out there but they do more damage to your body. I really think this state needs to approve medical marijuana. I guess what really is on my mind is not being able to help my friends to be comfortable. Ugh! So if you could please say a prayer for someone you know who is suffering from an internal battle, whether it be depression, chronic pain or a chronic illness.
