First of all, a belated Season's Greetings to all!I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to post here lately or even log-in.
Unfortunately I've had a few lupus related issues, and it's not really to do with my health, but stress has come into it - not good...
Basically, Kathy knows the full story and has been so supportive - as have others around the world - when I stood up for myself and others battling
all forms of this disease.
I actually feel as though I've been bullied on the internet, when all I've done over the past two years is put my heart, time, body and cash into helping others. And over the past few weeks/months I've been constantly hit with negativity by one person in particular. The timing wasn't great as it was over the Christmas period. But I knew deep down where I stood - and still do!
Unfortunately I can't elaborate on what's been going on - because this faceless person will do his best to discredit me where he can. And I won't lower myself to debating a person who hasn't bled, struggled, and devoted so much of their life for our cause and awareness - I didn't let big mountains beat me, I didn't let the deserts of America beat me and this childish person will not beat me.
It's just such a shame that one person can devalue our cause for awareness and a cure. I'm not here for myself - my recent history proves that to people who know me.
I went totally public with my lupus to help others. But I didn't expect to be confronted for doing so. But that doesn't matter. What does matter to me are those who are doing it tougher than myself - and that has always been the case and will
continue to be the case.
Sorry... I might be a little more cheerful next time
Just thanking you all and wishing you a happy and healthy 2009
Regards as always,
Geoff The Wide World of Lupus
