Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Happy birthday to me! This year is the year I beat the odds. Not by surviving, but by living.
‘Cause you’re going home
You’re running free
As only you would be if you never owed them anything
And now you’ve found your way out
In the trust you’ve seen your path on home
Spend your time well before you go
Here in hell
Today is my birthday! And all I want for my birthday is for more people to know and join and experience the Chronically Awesome Foundation!
This community is a grassroots, random family bursting with love, pain, creativity, dreams, frustrations, and the ability to connect with each other and get their message out that rivals any political campaign I have worked for. I learn and steal from this community everyday. The one thing this community lacks? The spirit of membership. Julianna has asked for members before. $25 dollars, less than a movie and dinner, for a year’s worth of awesome. It’s the best deal you will ever find.

Great post by SometimesitisLupus. Having been diagnosed so young, I sometimes feel like I had a leg up growing up with at least some of my limitations.

I know this appeals to me a lot, as I often get confused or overwhelmed by the clutter that chronic illness causes in my life. Appointments, prescriptions, insurance claims, they can all get bundled together and things can slip through the cracks.
GLOBAL: Chronic diseases reach âepidemicâ proportions - WHO
Chronic diseasesâespecially cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory and heart diseases â kill twice as many people worldwide every year than do infectious diseases HIV, malaria and tuberculosis, combined. But despite their stealth ascent to epidemic proportions â mostly in poor countries, according to World Health Organization (WHO) â chronic diseases receive scant donor and government attention.
Chronic diseases are a silent killer, and they do so without stirring up much noise or donations.
A twenty-two year old woman with Lupus in el Salvador is effectively being sentenced to death due to strict "pro-life" laws
The complications of the pregnancy threaten her life, and will cause the child, once born, to die quickly. At only 26 weeks, Beatriz could have a fairly easy and safe abortive procedure, but she has been told she must carry to term regardless of her impending death and the impending death of the baby yet to be.
