Who Am I?

When I first noticed a small red spot on my way skin I thought nothing of it but it kept getting bigger so I finally saw a doctor who told me it was just dry skin. That was many years ago. Now I have psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and the person I used to be does not exist anymore. When I finally saw a specialist they told me I was the worst case they had ever seen. It is very hard to try to become someone else when everything about your life changes.

Adapting to a new lifestyle

I went from working out 6 hours a day - running what's my thing, to where I am in pain almost every day. It's hard to get up and just walk across the floor. Now my habits have changed the way I dress. I wonder who am I now. Nothing seems the same anymore, I just keep praying and keep fighting hoping one day they will figure out what causes psoriasis and praying for a cure.

Turning to faith

It messes with your entire body even your mind and your memory. If you are a sufferer from this, I pray for you because God is the only peace I have found. I don't go out, I stay indoors. I have seen the time when if not for God, I surely would have taken my own life. God is good all the time, he is my refuge and my peace, thank you.
