P.S. If you suffer from Systemic Lupus Erythematosus or any other chronic illness it is important to note that Apathy or Depression can be a major hindrance to managing your illness. Talk to your doctor. They might refer you to a mental health specialist who will treat you in conjunction with your usual doctor. There is nothing shameful about dealing with a mental health problem. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jmaruru.wordpress.com&#038;blog=4214196&#038;post=2452&#038;subd=jmaruru&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The hint of red mist excited the red that flowed in his blue veins. His heart pulsed to the drums of the dark-skinned slaves carried off to the far Caribbean, lower near the coca plantations of Colombia but close enough for the philosophical reggae to show in the tum-tum-dum-dum of the Vallenato and Merengue.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jmaruru.wordpress.com&#038;blog=4214196&#038;post=2435&#038;subd=jmaruru&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once in a while I experience a curious kind of migraine with halos, hallucinations, aphasia and synethesia. It is usually painless but quite freaky because although I am generally aware of my surroundings and can even be incredibly creative at this time, I can also be a little kooky.

The aphasia is usually frustrating, making it hard for me to say what I mean, or even to speak at all. But it can also be hilarious when it crosses over and links with the synethesia. One of my brilliant episodes was when I furiously announced the death of Colonel Gaddafi with 'They killed Luciano Pavarotti.' My family looked at me and someone asked, 'Shit, again?'<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jmaruru.wordpress.com&#038;blog=4214196&#038;post=2412&#038;subd=jmaruru&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
