Every I took step out of the venue where the reception was held after the Autoimmune Association Legislative fly in felt as if I was breaking the bones in my feet. Still It’s one of the best ways I’ve marked autoimmune awareness month #igg4 #chronicillness

A rare disease is a terrifying gift that has made me aware that who I am and the life I live can’t be defined by one aspect of me. https://t.co/JDQEdSvTrU #RareDiseaseDay

I am a glorious mess. I’m grateful I can shed light on igg4-Rd and people living with other autoimmune diseases. Yet, it was refreshing to talk about something else: my journey as a writer.

@ I’m listening to iHeart ♫ As an #igg4 sufferer I know how difficult it can be to get the correct diagnosis. I shared my long journey for a diagnosis in a new podcast episode #health #ChronicIllness #auotimmunedisease . @iHeartRadio https://t.co/mnwcvZF83n

Sometimes I talk to people and am not sure if I have something to offer of much value. Every once in a while, I am told I do. This happened when talking to a podcast host who recorded. #autoimmunedisease#chronicillness#spoonie#igg4#womenshealth

#lcslitpitch25 The relationship between white single father and black woman with a chronic illness evolves from friendship to love to marriage as they cope with her health issues. In sickness, In health and then a wedding is a modern romance that starts as a meet cute.

A woman who lives with an autoimmune disease goes on a past due honeymoon in Jamaica. When she falls during a tour, she’s shown natural cures that help get her strained marriage back on track. Irie is a combo of How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Eat, Pray, Love. #lcslitpitch25

Living with a #chronic illness or #autoimmunedisease is tough but if you live long enough you will see you’re strong enough to overcome anything.

[Nika C. Beamon @NikaBeamon]

I have been living with the chronic illness, IGG4-RD for most of my adult life. I didn’t know about IGG4 Awareness Day when I was asked about my advocacy for people living with autoimmune diseases.

@mcharlesworth7 @MaxAzria Definitely a stunning and tasteful prom dress!

[Nika C. Beamon @NikaBeamon]

I compiled a dream list of authors and others who had written about or had been impacted by autoimmune disease or chronic illness. Richard Cohen, Meredith Vieira’s husband, was on it. I sent a quick email and he extended kindness to me. https://t.co/APgvbwK6KL
