I was recently diagnosed with Lupus in November 2005.  Lupus is an autoimmune disease where your immune system can attack other your own tissues and organs and it can cause pain, inflammation, and possible organ damage. 

Everything happened really fast that I barely had time to absorb it all.  I started feeling strange and sick, and within 2-3 weeks I was in so much pain that I could barely even walk.  I was rushed by ambulance to the ER where I was hospitalized for most of November 05 until I was stabilized. 

It's been a very long year and it's definately been a roller coaster and hard battle for me.  While I am not in remission and I'm still going through some issues with my health.  I am going to try and stay positive.  I recently went through chemotheraphy treatments in addition to the medications I'm on.  And I am happy to stay that I'm responding well. 

While I try to respond to emails on a daily basis and try to get orders sent out in a timely manner.  Please keep in mind that I do have my good days and my bad days.  Most of the things on my site need to be put together and made and some days I just don't have the energy for it so sometimes there are delays.

So thank you everyone for being understanding.  I try my best to stay on top of things, but if you have any comments or concerns, feel free to email me at Heidi@fuzzbuttchins.com about it.
