If you have the resources then go for it. You only live once.
That's about the only thing that I have seen you post for some time with which I can agree. Of course it is not about politics.
Having known someone to die of lupus, I can tell Danilynn that what joy one gets out of life before the lupus overpowers one is all that one can get. Beyond that, all one has left is whatever solace that friends, loved ones, and faith can offer. Motorcycles are dangerous, but what do you really have to lose? Enjoy the ride.
Danilynn,
The thing about physical disease is that we each get our own personal case of whatever we get. By that I mean that each of us differs, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in huge ways.
Lupus, or in fact most autoimmune problems, can come and go. You can get years of remission. A good immunologist is an essential component of your treatment. Even if your insurance doesn't cover it, an hour of a specialist's time isn't all that expensive. You can see two, three or more specialists. Bring your lab test results. Just talk to them about possibilities. It can be invaluable just having the information. It allows you to largely decide on your own how you want your case managed.

Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
