Laughter IS the best medicine. For many of us lupies, a lot of the time, you’ve just gotta laugh or you’d cry. I mean…. what kind of word is ‘LUPUS’ anyway. When I was first diagnosed, one of my friends said ‘trust you to get a disease called lupus‘ (insinuating that I am a little on the loopy side already). For some comic relief on the LUPIE side, check out the new blog CHRONICLYsILLY by Kimberly Ann Possible. Kimberly juxtaposes her real life experiences of living with lupus with a comedic approach incorporating the likes of Dr. Seuss into her blogs. 

I absolutely relate to todays post ‘one pill, two pill, red pill, blue pill… what a lot of pills there are’! My morning routine consists of getting up, emptying my plethora of pills onto the bench, taking them with a cup of juice  (no I cannot take them with water – I gag) and then having my breakfast. If I don’t have my pills by a certain time, I start feeling quite nauseous and light headed (this is accompanied by me wearing my cranky pants until I have my pills).  

While I never envisioned myself having a chronic illness (or a collection of them), I have learned a great deal from trying to live a life with Lupus and the seemingly never-ending complications that come along with it”.

Adding a cup of whimsy into what is often a turmultuous mix of emotion can be theraputic and in my opinion ESSENTIAL. Bravo Kimberly – keep up the great work! Check out CRONICLYsILLY’s website: http://chroniclysilly.blogspot.com/   you can also find Kimberly on face book.
