Sometimes it is amazing to look back and realize that although I was diagnosed with the Wolf since 1981, my eyes still get teary when I find out that another sufferer has been added to his prey. Your poem was beautiful Sherry....beautiful because it conveys with clarity and deepness what each of us goes through from the moment we wake up and start a new day. The only way I have been able to deal with Lupus, believe it or not, is by becoming friends with the Wolf. While I have not accepted the disease, I have accepted the fact that my life is to be lived in a different way. Thus, the Wolf is my friend because it makes me realize and value more the precious moments of well being. It has also made me more compassionate towards others and has taught me to listen more intently. When I feel good, I kiss the ground I walk on, when I feel awfully sick, I take it easy, cry now and then, but nevertheless try to be positive and believe wholeheartedly that this too shall pass. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all you have done in promoting Lupus awareness and hope that God will keep the doors open for you and help you with this amazing task. Many blessings to you also.
Christa

I was DX in 1999 and I too not long after wrote a poem on how I felt. It was helpful and it was just as helpful to read from another view and know what is being said and meant by each word you wrote. Great Job :)

Sherry you moved me to tears. There are several in the family that have lupus and do not really speak of it. You have made me more aware of what they are going through.

It is so hard to have a disease that is "silent". You never know what is around the corner. Your poem just fits what we all have endured...one day fine and the next rashy and full of pain. Thanks so much for putting your heart and words for us to share.

Everytime I've read this, I've been struck again by the first shock of this diagnosis, the trauma of intense pain and the struggle to cope, as you movingly describe. These words, straight from your heart, hit home for us all and now, in publishing your new novel, you prove that it is possible to outrun Ol' Wolfie to your dreams and make them come true.
