I am a 27 year old wife and mother of two, and now a Lupus patient. I am newly diagnosed as of Oct 14, 2009 with SLE and Sjorgen’s Syndrome. This place is for me to record my journey with this disease and the many ups and downs it brings, as well as share useful info I have been given for others with Lupus.
I also hope to raise awareness to the many people who are unfamiliar with this disease and the havoc that it wreaks on so many lives and families. If you have a loved one who is fighting Lupus, inform yourself and be there for them. Support is key!
Most of all I want a place to remind myself in the bad times that Lupus does not define me. It is not all that I am and I’m determined not to let it keep me from living out my dreams!
Take that, Lupus. You picked a fighter!
