Chronic Illness and Marriage from Focus on the Family
A really great article on chronic illness and marriage. I saw a statistic that 75% of marriages fail, when one partner is diagnosed with a chronic disease. Life changes when one is diagnosed and some parts of marriage life must be mourned. Also one of the "best" ways to cause your relationship to fail is to "bother" the chronically ill spouse saying things like "Why don't you do more/work more.? Are you REALLY sick? Please read the article below.

Top Ten Reasons Why I Should Get To Eat Whatever I Want
This is my hardest thing to get across to folks. Why do people want to eat things that don't agree with them...or they don't even want to admit or even try to find out what is "stressing" their bodies and making/keeping them ill. They just want to eat what THEY want to eat!
Part 2 should also be changing the rest of your lifestyle...not ONLY what you eat....

How to Achieve Happiness (and Happiness Creates Health)
Hope this picture makes you smile!
Happiness can create health. Your immune system works better. Your brain and your body work in harmony and everything is right with the world. Give me a second here and just indulge this thought. I had a fiancé years ago that wouldn't let things get him down. He "practiced" being happy no matter what the situation was. It's easier to be happy when you had a little tiff with a loved one than if you got the news that you have cancer. But YES in BOTH situations you can practice being happy. It is a learned art. Now, if you have someone in your life that chronically makes you feel bad DUMP THEM!
I am a dog trainer and I can tell you that if you pretend to be confident (body language/breathing etc) even if you are scared of a dog they will respond to you as you are the leader.
You can learn to have the body language and "pretend" to be happy and you will actually BECOME happier.
Watch comedies, watch comedians, hang with folks in your life that make you smile/laugh. Read joke books. Do exercise you REALLY like. Do hobbies/activities that you really like. Breathe.

Mark Hyman MD's Emergency Food Pack (Gluten Free/Dairy Free)
If you're on a gluten free/dairy free diet and/or a gluten free/ vegan diet you should bring food with you in case you're starving and all that might be available is a fast food joint or some other poor choice. Dr. Hyman is not vegan or egg free, so adjust accordingly...click below to watch the video.
http://drhyman.com/blog/2012/08/14/dr-hymans-emergency-food-pack-2/
Mason jars are also great for transporting foods, if you will eat foods relatively soon, you can also bring things like green salads /bean salads with a small mason jar of dressing on the side, green smoothies etc. Yes, it takes planning and effort but your health is worth it!

Sunshine and Lupus Don't Mix...Wish I Understood Why...
In the middle of the day I do my "Michael Jackson" impression (as my kids call it)
If you have Lupus the sun is one of those things that is said to be a "no no".
For me I can get cutaneous Lupus sores and I generally feel like death (super tired) when I leave my "time in the sun".
This is one of those mysteries I wish someone could explain. Most people go in the sun and benefit from it by getting their daily dose (or at least part of it) of Vitamin D3.
If you choose to use sunscreen, make sure it has good ingredients.
You can also choose to use clothes/umbrella/shade.
Don't go out in mid day when the sun is very strong 10:00am-2 or 3:00 pm . Do gardening in the early evening when the sun is least strong.
Watch out for fluorescent lights indoors too. They can cause problems for folks with Lupus as well. Enjoy the following article. Click below.
