Lupus Awareness Month

I used to wake up every morning hurting, aching, wishing and praying. Everyday was a struggle. Every step was a challenge. And I was only 15.

Now, at age 31 I have come to appreciate life and realize that although I am in pain, I am blessed enough to wake up. No one is promised tomorrow and through the pain I see the bigger picture.

I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosis at age 15. It was a hellava way to start high school. I will tell my story in my next post. The month of May is dedicated to Lupus Awareness and so is this post.

    Hello there! I am newly diagnosed with SLE. Just yesterday, actually. I’m glad to be learning more about the disease, and being diagnosed in the begin of lupus awareness month should should help me stay on top of that. I’m in the process of being referred to a rheumatologist as we speak. Nice to have found you here.
