Frustrated..

Sometimes it's the little things that can have an affect on you mentally...

I know I was supposed to be dropping the post, Pain Meds Have Sided Effects Too, but since then, I got locked up...again. So what happened? What's going on? Before I get into all of that I have to admit, this hospital stay has been one of the toughest...more mentally and emotionally than anything. Everybody knows that The LupieGirl is bubbly and always positive but this post aint that. Right now, I need a moment to vent and get my feelings off my chest because I almost lost my mind; But God.

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.
