...But I am scared of the dark; dingy, cavernous basements; and mice.
So I'm 33 years old and I'm still afraid of walking my pugs at night by myself, I admit it. Nonetheless, over the years, I've grown accustomed to many of the not-so-pleasant aspects of having Lupus. As many things as I've been able to overcome, it always surprises me when I find myself dreading or being scared of some aspects of my disease. After eight years, there are still just some things that I don't like. Here's the rather curious list of the things that I'm afraid of, and those that I am not!
...But I am scared of the dark; dingy, cavernous basements; and mice.
Afraid: Chest X-Rays (that reveal pleural effusion!)
Afraid: Having a medication mysteriously stop working
Not Afraid: Paying (out the wazoo) for insurance
