ever changing physical identity

Today I am meeting a girl that was my best friend since grammer school. We haven't seen each other in 20 years! I am so excited yet nervious. I wonder what she will think of the rash that is covering my face. On Tuesday I have a photo shoot at the local hospital Lupus center because of a fundraising I helped with, And of course I look like crap. I guess I should think about the fact that most people with Lupus don't look sick and for this shoot maybe it is best for awareness that I do.

I know how you feel .... I am very self-conscious about my rash too. Some days I just feel so terrible that I don't bother to try and cover it up. Once in a while I'll go the extra mile and do the concealing make-up thing. I feel it might be a good thing for all of us if the world sees us NOT looking good for a change. Hang in there, hugs to you!

Thanks Kim. More often than not I don't wear the make-up. Between steroids, sunscreen, foundation, neutralizing tones, and second foundation it takes me almost 3hrs! ( I have to let topicals dry between layers)

Thanks for the hugs :)
