Scared

Feb 3rd, 2017...the day I couldn’t move nor open my mouth. Day after day it's been something new...finding small lumps in places I didn’t even know I had a joint there. Work is hard and bosses don't understand because they can't see it. I’m a severe case with 2 little ones at home. Our diets have changed too we are eating healthier. My husband teaches Kung Fu so I started Tai Chi. I feel so good at the end of it. I cried one day for hours and noticed my 3 yr. old was depressed about that so I decided to stay strong and do what I can to delay the process...my poor babies’ mommy is doing all she can to handle the flare ups I promise.
