| The next few years were pretty tame for Jo Beth, lupus-wise. She still had morning-and- sometimes-evening arthritis, and a low fever most evenings, and the myoclonic jerks and sharp stabbing pains, and unfun-or-none sex, but her fun little boys made her feel happy much of the time, so she could usually deal with the rest. Work often sucked, her neighborhood always sucked, and her body sometimes sucked, but she was mobile, and could play and laugh with her boys. She was luckier than most people with chronic diseases. However, Jo Beth was running in the red for all those years: her schedule would have been challenging for a totally-healthy person. |
