    My sister in law has been diagnosed with MS for almost 20 years. She struggles sometimes. But I admire her so much. Thankfully her MS is stable for the most part. My brother retired from the Air Force two years ago and he has been traveling with his wife and kids when they have time off. They go on cruises and just enjoy the time they are able to have together.

      @Jz DisneyB, do you mind if I ask you how old you were when you were diagnosed with RA? And were you diagnosed with both the RA and the Lupas at the same time? I am waiting for an upcoming doctor's appt but I'm almost positive I'm going to find out I have RA. I have been turned upside amd inside out the past 4-6 months and after lots of research I really think I've been experiencing RA flare-ups. It runs on both my paternal and maternal sides of my family. I, myself, am 41 but I was just curious if I would fall in the earlier onset range or if 41 is pretty mature for a RA diagnosis. Anyways, you are a superstar and an inspiration!! Keep kicking ass ☺

I am so glad that she talks about her struggles with MS, as it makes her so relatable and it really helps others! I too have an issue (not MS) that makes me limp and “walk funny” as my 8 year old calls it. There isn’t a minute that goes by that I am not thinking about my situation & concentrating very hard when I take each step to not “walk funny”.... Selma’s sense of humor helps me so much with my own struggles! Thank you, Selma! You are loved! 💖🌸

      It was especially frustrating as I wanted to work hard and be a success. I kept getting fired from jobs, let go or they would just cut my hours until I left. Family members called me lazy and said I was faking my food intolerances. I got chewed out at a lot of Christmas dinners by one of three of my brothers from 1991 to 2006 while other family members just sat there as if nothing was happening. I told one of my brothers if it happened again I’ll get up to leave. I have a horribly critical negative judgmental family. I could write several more pages on it. I was going to have a manufacturing business, family and a hobby farm. Instead I have Lyme disease, live with my mom and deliver pizza. I am 52. I have no savings or investments. One brother I used to be close to thinks he is helping me by calling me up and berating me to clean up my life and tackle projects. I keep telling him I’m sick. He replies “with what”? I say Lyme disease, which he already knows. A year ago I told this same brother that I wish I had been accidentally switched in the hospital and went home with another family.
