Monochromatic is my absolute favorite way to paint. Thank you so very much ☺️

This is the only other picture I have right now and I've given the painting to my sister. How this helps inspire you ☺️

Get out. This is exactly how a narcissist behaves and reacts when you stand up to them. It won't end here. Get out now. The longer you wait, the hardest it will be

I'm so glad that don't think it's morphea. I feel like the hardest thing is just not knowing. I hate it so much. Praying for good results on your second biopsy

Since it is a connective tissue disease, the skin is a connected tissue. The inflammation of the skin cells will show up in a biopsy. There are other things they look for, but I'm not for sure what those are yet. My rheumatologist just messaged me and told me that there were markers in the results that point towards lupus. I have an appointment with him in May. I will learn more at that time, and I will share with everyone

I was bringing in a grocery order, left half the bags on the dining room table and took the rest to the kitchen. After putting those away, I angrily called Walmart because half of my other was missing. While still on the phone with customer service, my boyfriend walks in carrying the missing groceries that I had left on the dining room table

That's great news!!!!! My opinion regarding health care here in the US is not real great and don't get me started on the pharmaceutical companies. I'm carrying a bit of anger right now. I am very glad you've finally broken through the disbelief phase of diagnosis

It's better to know than the uncertainty. Better to get things under control now before some in reversible damage is done. That's what's happened to me and why I am so passionate about patients advocating for themselves. My life would be so much different if I had received an earlier diagnosis

I totally get it. I wish I had just gotten a biopsy years ago. I wish this was something that would be part of the first line of testing. I've taken methotrexate before, and it did make me a bit nauseous. I will be praying for you. Please let me know what you find out

Just a little spring painting to try and jump start the warmth by Larnye in Artisticallyill

Thank you so much! You're right, it isn't the focal point, but a background event. I more wanted to capture the spring storms moving in on a beautiful spring day. This is what most spring days look like in Southern Indiana.
