| I doubt you are a slug. I have been feeling much the same way as you
are but do not have a husband giving me permission, wink.
I have been reading here for a while, and I am not nearly as ill as
many of the others, but I still wonder how many face the day, and even
do the next one.
I know Lupus has a long list set of 'symptoms' I find it difficult to
tell one affliction from another since most have more than Lupus going
on.
I have been a caring reader here, I do not post often as I seem to get
lost in the conversations and misread things, like I am missing some
posts, know what I mean.
Better days must be ahead.

or is it the shorter days
Hey, I can't handle a question with so many choices of answer. (But I'll
check under my lettuce leaf just in case)

Hmmmm. considering the fact that I too am lacking somewhat in that
department... motivation I mean and that I have been online several times of
late, daily, and that as I look around I see more than a few things that
should be done and aren't... I could put myself in that same category
..... but I refuse to be a 'slug' (ugh, slimy fat grubs)
......and I know I am not depressed
......and I hate to blame everything on my lupus
..... sooooo I think I will choose the *shorter days* as my excuse
.....(my thanks to Andy for that out <g> )
Hey! perhaps we have 'SADS' and don't know it?
..... one more dx for the record?
Noooooo! LOL!?
Just kidding of course
..... hope you get over your slump real soon ((KC))!!

| I love fall and winter and love the shorter days (prefer darkness to light,
go figure!)
I saw a quick snippet of a Christopher Reeve interview this a.m. Basically
he fussed at people like me for taking their mobility for granted. For not
pursuing their dreams while they can.
guilt can motivate.

uh... yeah... though in my current state of mind it could have just been a
dream I had.

On the other hand, his attempts at over-achieving are probably part of
what killed him. Plus, like many spinal cord injury victims, he had no
understanding of what it's like to have a degenerative disease. You might
"have" your mobility, but it's nothing like what an able-bodied person has.
I come up against this dealing with SCI folks who assume all wheelchair
users who aren't quadriplegics have full use of their arms. Or the fact
that I can hobble some means I shouldn't be using that wheelchair, when it
really just means that I'm conserving what strength I have.
Reeve did some admirable things, but that doesn't mean he didn't have
some nutty ideas...
