I’m not a big fan of selfies, but this one comes

I’m not a big fan of selfies, but this one comes with a story... I’ve never been much of a morning person, but this morning was particularly difficult. Forcing myself to get out of bed for an important work call that couldn’t be missed, I had to power through the “I feel like I got hit by a bus” feeling coupled with brain fog.
These feelings along with serious fatigue and other symptoms are something that you have to deal with when you have a chronic disease like GPA and additionally all the side effects from the necessary medications (currently I am not enjoying/getting along with my prednisone, I’m sure many of you can relate). Despite it all life doesn’t stop for anyone and I’m a gal with dreams, goals, and a desire to live life on my terms.

So, here I was in all my morningness... powering through the day until now. When I can stretch, sit back, relax, and enjoy a book.
May we all find ways to keep on keeping on, with whatever hand we’ve been dealt. 🖤🙏🏻

⁣Learning to live with a disease like #granulomatosiswithpolyangiitis has been a challenge, and will likely continue to be one of the greatest challenges of my life. We are all fighting our own battles every day, even those that are not visible on the outside. I’ve been lucky to have amazing doctors, a quick diagnosis, and a path forward… not everyone with this disease has the same experience. We have to learn to be our own advocates, to learn about GPA, and to listen to our own bodies. It isn’t always easy… far from it. ⁣

⁣Remember to be kind to yourself, be patient with yourself, and be kind to others. ⁣
