Stories of people who have diseases

This story is about a women who doesn't let her diseases get to her and how  she worked very hard to get to where she is right now.

Amy Thornton was struggling conceiving a child because of her Lupus.  Her first pregnancy lasted for about eight weeks but the sad thing is that the baby didn't develop enough.  She said  "This was very upsetting, but we were hopeful that it was just a ?blip? and that eventually we would be able to try to get pregnant again"; also with medication and steroids her lupus and all the side affects from the disease cleared up enough . "Although I had lupus for a long time, I managed to live a very normal life. I had played on varsity sports teams in high school, attended college and graduate school and held demanding jobs. " she said. I think this is very inspirational because if you can do something like that with a disease like hers you can do pretty much anything.  Later, in 2001 she was expecting twin boys! She made it through her pregnancy and the babies were healthy.  But when she was 36 years old she had a heart attack due to premature coronary artery disease. But everything is alright now, she's healthy . To me this story screams inspiration because of the fact that she never gave up hope when the burdens of her disease were laying down on her.
