May is LUPUS Awareness Month



FACT of the DAY:
Lupus is an unpredictable and complex autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and can damage any organ in the body with life-threatening consequences.




I have been battling this disease for a little over 5 years now. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. 

For several reasons, but mostly because:
  1. quickly diagnosed
  2. great rheumatologist with years of experience
  3. never been hospitalized
  4. blessed with a beautiful daughter and one on the way
  5. the BEST support system a survivor could ask for!

If you think you might have lupus, or know someone who might be suffering from lupus, please see a doctor.  Early detection is always best.
