GetYourTailsUp: Sickle Cell Anemia and Lupus are two diseases that cause the body to turn against itself. Typically, our immune system works to fight off invaders like bacteria and germs. However, with lupus, the immune system attacks healthy tissue instead, resulting in joint pain and other symptoms. Five million people struggle with lupus, and it can be deadly.
An individuals with sickle cell disease, normal blood cells are round and flexible. However, some of those with sickle cell have crescent-shaped cells that can become lodged in blood vessels, obstructing the flow of oxygen. This can lead to severe pain in the extremities and other complications.
Let's take a moment to pray for family members and friends who have Sickle Cell Anemia or Lupus. These are both deadly diseases, and it's likely that everyone has a loved one currently battling with one of them. It's a difficult reality to face, but the toughest part is living with it.
We honor our precious loved ones who yearn for nothing more than a normal life. They have accepted the things they cannot change, displayed the courage to change the things they can, and gained the wisdom to discern the difference. Living one day at a time, savoring each moment, they endure the extreme pain, episodes, crises, and still persevere in their fight to live. Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Cancer has pervaded our lives like a garment we can't remove. Please find it in your heart to think of them and pray for their well-being. We have so much to be grateful for. All I ask for is healing, comfort, and freedom from pain.
