Lupus Walk 2006

It is that time of year again!

My family, friends and I are walking in the annual Lupus Walk on Long
Island, NY. This has been a family tradition that has meant allot to me. Especially after the difficult time I had this winter with Lupus, we got to see first hand what this disease can do. I am thankful
that I am feeling better, but the incident made me even more dedicated to help those living with lupus live healthier, happier lives.

Book Review: Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, by Lorna Landvik

How many of us can relate to the desire to just fit in somewhere, anywhere? I know I most definitely can. After being diagnosed with Lupus at age 12, shortly there-after I hit puberty and let me tell you, both of those life changes hit me hard. It is difficult enough to fit in with the prepubescent crowd as it is, but to then add on top of it this strange sounding disease and throw in a weight problem- you have one troubled teen. I sought desperately, and in some ways still do, to find that niche that felt right to me. I thought I would never find it, but now out of nowhere I have discovered this website full of fellow ˜spoonies," who are going through everything I've been through and more.

Recipe: Rainbow Rotini Salad

I must confess at the outset, that I am not much of a cook. I don't measure, unless I'm following an instruction book. And because I'm on a restricted diet, I'm usually cooking just for myself as my husband likes regular food. But there is one thing I make that has survived all the changes in my dietary habits and still tastes good enough for my husband to eat: pasta salad.
