The thing I did!

» Kel_23 - how i overcame my sickness

When I was 16 I had these rashes all over my face and was embarrased to be out in public because people would stare at me all the time. I finally went to a dermatologist in the city i lived at and right then and there the doctor said it looked like Lupus. That was the first time i ever heard of that. I was so clueless to what i had and didnt think anything of it. I had to go and get bloodwork done to find out for sure and the results came out positive. I told my parents and my sister who i was living with at the time! The first thing she told me was I was going to die! I got all freaked out and cried all day and stayed home from school that day. The doctor gave me some pamphlets on the disease and i started to read them. The only symptoms i had were I was constantly tired and the rashes that were on my body and face. Being Native American my parents had brought me to a Spiritual Medicine man. He told me that I was never going to have children and if I did get pregnant that I could harm myself as well as the baby. But he doctored me in a different way that regular doctors dont know about. Its a very spiritual way of healing. If you know about the Native American culture you might have an idea as to what I'm talking about, but my sickness went away and its hasnt come back, its been about 7 years since that happened and in between that time I had a beautiful son, whom I cherish and believe that God gave him to me for a very special reason. But i feel better these days and more energy, although sometime i do get tired quite easily the rashes have stayed away and that makes me less insecure about my appearance!
