The News!

9/24/2016

Well, for a bit I was discouraged to write because of the fact that no one really understood but I realize that people are inspired by what I do and how I have handled my situation thus far SO, I decided to get back to writing, especially because of the fact that I got my computer mailed back to me (Thank you ALI!). So, I know that many have been writing me trying to figure out what was the news and when I was going to spill it. However, I wanted to inform my family and close friends before I posted it on Facebook.

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.

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.
