I could be an inspiring story. If only my pain didn’t consume me. I feel like I can barley come up for air to re-evaluate and get the strength I need to change my outlook on my diagnosis.
I’m 24- I’ve had psoriatic arthritis since I was 18. Six years doesn’t seem like it’s that long. But it feels like an eternity.
My hair is falling out more lately. I know I won’t be bald or anything, but the chemo is getting to me more these days. I got out of the shower the other day and pulled out a clump of hair. I broke down.
I always wonder if I had a do-over at this whole arthritis thing… would I be braver?

I’ve never been much of a fan of New Years Eve Celebration. I haven’t had much good to celebrate in the past.
This year I rang in the new year with one of the most inspiring, kind and honest friend, Miss Jessica Nicole Lomelin. For the past year she’s been in Gulu, Uganda working for Invisible Children. She came back to the United States for 3 weeks. One of those weeks was spent with me. It couldn’t have been a better way to ring in the new year than with one person who knows me better than I know myself.
I had a rough time when Jessica left for Gulu last February. We had been pretty inseparable for the past two years and now to not see her for a year. I was a wreck to say the least.
This year hasn’t been my best, from a vast amount of health issues, moving, and realizing so much about friendships 2010 was a year of learning for me.
With the new year, brings a new Promotion at work.
Things I’m going to focus on in 2011:
- Myself
- My work
- Coaching
- Being Healthy
- Writing more
These are all vague “resolutions” if you may…. but working toward all will be a challenge, but it must be done.
I hope everyone has a spectacular new year in 2011.
