LAM WOMEN AND THEIR STRUGGLES

Difficult to breath.

Once healthy and strong.

Confused and hurting not knowing.

Then the diagnosis is made.

Disbelief of how they had gotten such a rare disease.

A relentless disease that destroys your life.

A disease that tears your family apart.

An extremely hard struggle for many families to face.

Frustration of what LAM hits you with.

LAM has many faces.

So many women having the same symptoms.

Yet each women has such different symptoms as well.

No two are completely the same.

A rare disease with no cure and odd name.

Hundreds of heartbreaking stories of what these women endure.

So sad when LAM affects young women who yearn to start a family.

The struggle when LAM women have so many responsibilities.

So many days when just a simple task becomes so difficult.

Your family in shock and hurting watching someone they love suffer.

When there is not much that can be done.

So many other medical conditions pop up in our bodies.

Desperately fighting each one with all the strength we have.

Research and support is strong.

Our prayers hopefully will be heard for a cure soon.

The mysteries of LAM.

So many unanswered questions.

Too many incredible lives have been lost to LAM.

The struggles of being hooked to oxygen.

The limitations that each day brings.

The pronunciation and spelling is atrocious.

LAM – Lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
