Book excerpt: Shortly after marrying Ken, her best friend and soulmate in February of 1975, Katy Conklin, at thirty-five, learned that she had SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), an incurable autoimmune disease that can attack any part of the body. For Katy, lupus initially affected her joints often causing pain and fatigue. Later, this insidious disease progressed to her lungs and circulatory system, leading to asthma and then to blood clots, including DVTs (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in her legs, and eventually to lupus-induced strokes. Instead of giving in to lupus, Katy, a positive person by nature, vows to overcome the lupus obstacles and live as full a life as possible. She finds success in her work as a CEO of several branches of a non-profit organization. She also uses her music and acting ability to find fulfillment with a semi-professional chorus and by singing and acting with a retirement village entertainment company. With her husband by her side throughout her struggles, she achieves success in her work and in her daily life.

Book Synopsis The Love for a Dying Woman with Lupus by : Odell K Miller Sr.
Download or read book The Love for a Dying Woman with Lupus written by Odell K Miller Sr. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-02-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written in tribute to a great woman who developed a disease called lupus. Having this illness caused her to give up her career as a registered nurse and to submit to lupus. Alice's desire to live came from her faith in God. She knew that God has the power to heal. At times Alice would get angry over her illness and cry out to God, saying, "Why me?" Some people say we should not question God or ask why. It has been said that we should ask God for what we want and wait for the answer. As this lady of great faith held to God's unchanging hands and the doctors were doing all they could, she began to motivate herself to live on. She developed a purpose for living. She had developed lupus in the year of 1972. At that time, they did not know much about the disease called lupus. Being her husband and caretaker, I began to try to understand. I was having emotional difficulty dealing with the thought that there was no cure and that my loved one was going to die. It seemed very unfair. My faith and our faith combined together, and our love for one another was our strength and our key to our endurance. When you are doing all you can, the best medicine is just a little tender loving care. I was proud to be her husband through sickness and in health. This story is about my love for a dying woman with lupus.

Book excerpt: When Marisa Zeppieri was 22-years-old she found herself face-to-face with a raven-haired elderly woman who had emerged from a crowd and gently taken her hands: God will use these hands to change people's lives.Years later Marisa's once-spirited demeanor was shrouded in anger and bitterness. Triggered first by a near-fatal car accident that sent her 100-lb body flying from a crosswalk and later by a painful Lupus diagnosis, she became stuck in a season of brokenness.But in the seasons that followed, an insatiable emotional, spiritual, and physical hunger took over: She learned how to nourish her broken body with the help of food, herbs, and a gastronomically-gifted Italian grandmother, while also nourishing her broken heart and crushed spirit through a deeper relationship with God.With Chronically Fabulous, Marisa fulfills the old woman's prophecy by offering pure nourishment to those of us living with chronic illness, helping us create wholeness and well-being through a love of food. Here, the founder of LupusChick, a nonprofit supporting those with autoimmune diseases, offers guiding principles, personal stories, and recipes that support whole-life thriving. With the depth, smarts, and spiritual advice beloved by her dedicated followers, Marisa shows us how faith, passion, and persistence can radically change our lives.
Download or read book Living with Lupus written by Ann Miles and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-05-15 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once associated only with the wealthy and privileged in Latin America, lifelong illnesses are now emerging among a wider cross section of the population as an unfortunate consequence of growing urbanization and increased life expectancy. One of these diseases is the chronic autoimmune disorder lupus erythematosus. Difficult to diagnose and harder still to effectively manage, lupus challenges the very foundations of women’s lives, their real and imagined futures, and their carefully constructed gendered identities. While the illness is validated by medical science, it is poorly understood by women, their families, and their communities, which creates multiple tensions as women attempt to make sense of an unpredictable, expensive, and culturally suspect medically managed illness. Living with Lupus vividly chronicles the struggles of Ecuadorian women as they come to terms with the experience of debilitating chronic illness. Drawing on years of ethnographic research, Ann Miles sensitively portrays the experiences and stories of Ecuadorian women who suffer with the intractable and stigmatizing disease. She uses in-depth case histories, rich in ethnographic detail, to explore not only how chronic illness can tear at the seams of women’s precarious lives, but also how meanings are reconfigured when a biomedical illness category moves across a cultural landscape. One of the few books that deals with the meanings and experiences of chronic illness in the developing world, Living with Lupus contributes to our understanding of a significant global health transition.

Although life was headed in the right direction for Julie, her health had other plans. Julie began noticing vague symptoms which became bothersome to her studies. She hesitated to voice these problems due to the fact 'she looked fine on the outside'. For a year, Julie dealt with ongoing fatigue and pain which was attributed to the stress of planning a wedding and working toward a master's degree. Eventually, the symptoms worsened and Julie needed to seek medical attention. What would the doctors tell her? How would she react? Ten years later, Julie is talking about how she coped through the challenges and got through the difficult days in dealing with lupus. "Life is a rollercoaster", Julie says. "It has its ups and downs, but you just have to take one day at a time. I feel God has blessed me with Lupus, so that I can reach out to others. My life could be a whole lot worse, and I've seen a whole lot worse". Julie's Story, 'My Life With Lupus' has been written for all of those who suffer from an autoimmune disease. Especially the great friends I've made along the way. Some of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the Lupus Foundation to help find a cure for this very unpredictable, life-threatening disease!
