I notice that I have been very serious on here. And Lupus is very serious. but I wanted to let you all know that we Lupusoids also have a very humorous side to us. You kind of need it to get through the tough stuff.
I thought I could share a few funny things I have heard.
For one...If you go to utube, look up "How many times does Dr. House(the show) bring up Lupus"? There is a montage video that will make you laugh.
Here are some t-shirts I have seen, some I own...lol
1)This disease does wonders for my appearance, everybody keeps telling me how good I look.
2)Bad flare hair...lol...get it...Bad hair day? Ha, um....
3)Positive attitude can overcome almost everything, Pain pills cover everything else..
4)To Do list..
1)Try to get out of bed
2)Try to stay awake
3)Go back to bed
4)Try to sleep
5)repeat
5)My disabling Chronic Disease is more real than your imaginary medical expertise
6)Prednisone:
The all the time eating, shaking, bone thinning, weight gaining, B&^%$# making, so you can never sleep again medicine.
These are some funny pieces of advice ppl' have given me..lol
1)Gee I am really swollen with Adema today.
Advice: take a bath.
My thought: Ummmm....thats what I want, MORE WATER!...lol
2)I hate this rash!
answer: Well at least you have more color now.
My thought: Tilt my head...?
3)Gosh I am so tired, but I can't sleep
advice: Well go take a nap
My thought: Didn't I just say I .....nevermind
4)My legs are hurting so badddd
advice: walk it off
My thought: I want to go back one minute in time. I want my wasted minute back!
Funny things ppl' ask me...lol
1)Isn't Lupus a FUNGUS?
2)Don't you get that from a cat bite?
3)Teenagers get that from kissing,,,right?
4)Can't you get that from swimming in a pond?
5)Is that, that crazy disease?
6)Do you have to wear a diaper?...ummmmm
7)My uncle had that 7 times, how many times have you had it?
Very special ways I have heard to get rid of it:
1)Take a bath in Olive oil, it drains out the Lupus.
2)Bee stings get rid of THAT.(Think I will just stick to the Lupus, Thank you very much)
3)Let it run its course. It will burn out eventually.
4)Try sleeping on your right side. It helps rid the body of Lupus poisons..(I think we should all try that one when the flu comes around...right?)
5)Isolate yourself for several months. (LOL...hello, couch potato here)
6)Just eat prunes for several weeks. it will get rid of everything. (HAHAHA....I would think so!)
Just needed to get a little humor out there..
Take care everyone.
Oh' my Open House info is on the Events page (Thank you Mary Ann).
