Cold Weather And Lupus Don’t Mix

It’s been ten days and I am still having a lupus flare up. My entire body is so swollen and tender to any touch, very flu like. My joints feels like I’m the tin woman who needs to be oil down. My arms feel like they are being held down by cinder blocks. In my lungs are getting so weak by the day.

Oh how I hate winter but thank god I’m a makeup artist. I can contour the hell out of my swollen face. As long as my makeup is beat and my hair is Kardashian-ly curled nobody will notice. 
I’m so miserable I just need to be on the beach right about now until winter end.
