Way to go Marta! I saw the You Tube video on my facebook page yesterday on a link from one of the autoimmune groups I belong to and I was hoping you would post here on it. I definitely agree everyone with autoimmune diseases need to work together for awareness and advocacy, and it was so interesting to see the variety of diagnoses at PJ Day. There are so many similarities and challenges we all face. I had a great conversation with a woman with Lupus this weekend and we were able to share a lot of similar experiences and draw support from each other's stories. So many people also are unaware of autoimmune diseases and how prevalent they are. A good friend's husband was diagnosed with Type I diabetes last year and she was stunned when I told her recently it was an autoimmune disease, no one had ever told them that.
So keep up the good work and inspiration! On a side note, you had sent me a message a while ago liking my quote about sleeping women waking and moving mountains. For some reason, it never showed up on my page, but I happened to find it on someone else's page while researching something in the archives. So, thank you for that also.

We must let go of the life we have planned so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.

When sleeping women wake, mountains move.
