Could it be LUPUS?


A rash that didnt go away for about a week or so, and now I have a "scaley"residue left behind on my skin.... Allergist says "NO" to hives, and he would be highly concerned about an autoimmune disease... if you have any answers or opinions I would love to hear them...


My symptoms as of now include:

Headaches; Migraines

Extreme fatigue ( feel as if I cannot hold the phone to my ear or blow dry my hair)
Vertigo

Muscle weakness (legs and arms feel like spaghetti)
Insomnia

heart palpitations

My insides hurt around my rib cage boths sides

If I take a deep breath I feel pain

Sun Sensitivity ( instant headache, swelling in areas touched by sun)

Wake up with swollen hands fingers and face, like my eyes swelled

I feel disoriented at times, like I cannot think straight, and I tend to have blurred visions at these times.

low iron levels off and on, anemia more than not.

Stiff every morning, cant bend my neck down at all.

Extreme Reflux

Hair Loss

Fluid retention in both ankles and calves of legs


I know alot to absorb, it is for me too, and especially when no one can tell what for, or why I am having these symptoms.....

Is the supposed to Happen?

For some days now Ive been skeptical about certian things in my life, and God does hear that because I woke up and recieved this message in my email box about "risks"..... It re-assured me, that even though it might be scary at 1st, sometimes you just need to let God guide you, He will pull you through.......


Risks in Faith: Where God Guides, God Provides by Rick Warren

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
*** *** *** ***
If God tells you to do something, he will give you the energy, talent, resources – whatever you need – to do it. Where God guides, he provides.
In 1979, I was finishing seminary in Texas when God said, “I want you to go to the Saddleback Valley and start a church.” There were two problems with that: I had never been a senior pastor, and I didn’t know anything about the Saddleback Valley; I’d never been there, and I didn’t know a single person there.
But my wife, Kay, and I decided to take a risk and launch out in faith. We loaded a U-Haul truck and moved with our four-month-old daughter to the Saddleback Valley.
We arrived during rush hour in January, 1980. I grew up in a town of fewer than 500 people, so when I saw the jam-packed freeway, I thought God had chosen the wrong guy.
But where God guides, God provides. We stopped at a real estate office and I met Don Dale. I said, “My name is Rick Warren and I'm here to start a new church. I need a place to live and I don’t have any money.”
Within two hours, Don found us a condo with the first month rent-free. Don also became the first member of Saddleback Church. Saddleback’s first service was in our home with just seven people – my family and Don’s family.
God began bringing others to join us in planting a church. And in April of 1980, 205 people streamed up the ramp at Laguna Hills High School for our first public worship service. It was amazing. I thought, “God! You have provided! This is the place we’re supposed to be.”
Kay and I believed in the dream and the vision that God gave us for the Saddleback Valley, and we followed that dream, even when it involved risks. If you’re going to live by faith, you’re going to have to take some risks. In some situations, you’ll wonder if God is going to come through. But keep believing – because where God guides, God provides.
