It has been a while since I last posted and to be honest, I have a legit reason as to why I've been M.I.A. So I'm pretty sure that you know but I, on December 7, 2016 at 7 p.m. I received a kidney transplant. I know that you're probably thinking the same thing like "didn't you just get on dialysis?" Actually, yes and that is what makes my testimony so much sweeter to me. Let me be the one to say to NEVER, I mean NEVER, give up. No matter if it's that job, that place, that promotion, or that degree. God will show up and show out at times that you least expect it; especially if it's meant for you. You know I have to give you the tea of how it all went down.

    Did You Know?

     ​​An estimated 1.5 million Americans and 5 million people worldwide are living with lupus.

    Factors that may trigger a lupus flare include infections, ultraviolet light, stress, some medications, environment with some still unknown.


    My first sign of Lupus is when I woke up one morning with The malar, or “butterfly” rash on one side of my face. Over a week span, it spread across my nose, elbows, arms and even my eyelids! I went and saw a dermatologist  who did a biopsy of the rash and my ANA came back positive, confirming that I had Lupus. I also went to a  Rheumatologist who also confirmed that I had Lupus.

About the LupieGirl

Lupus is a devastating disease that still is not discussed enough and many times misunderstood. We have to advocate past Lupus Awareness month and bring attention to this illness year round. Individuals are dying from complications of this illness and to date, no cure has been found for Lupus. In the meantime, The LupieGirl will continue to motivate, encourage and inspire Lupies to live their best lives, debunking the stigma of what "sick" looks like, as well as accomplishing their wishes and goals.
