Collecting Lupus Survivor Stories

My original focus for my blog Ardent Cerebrations: Musings of a Lupus Survivor! was to provide information TO fellow lupus survivors. October is Lupus Awareness Month! Let's focus on increased awareness ABOUT lupus survivors for our own family & friends who often see us as isolated cases, often mistaking our complaints as our own personal idiosyncrasies. Hopefully presenting our stories with their parallel threads will dispel some misconceptions among our families and communities. Criteria for lupus survivors stories: Give brief anecdote illustrating one of following categories... 1. A life-threatening flare or life-threatening complications due to drugs or lupus 2. Death of loved one from lupus 3. Stories of life-threatening emergency led to diagnosis Stories featured on "Lupus Survivor Stories Blidget" More information and blidgets featured @ http://lupussurvivorstories.blogspot.com/ http://alupussurvivor.blogspot.com/ http://www.myspace.com/alupussurvivor Contact me @ mailto:cerebrations4u@aol.com
