What do you want others to know about lupus?

Living with lupus is hard to explain to people, you look like you are not sick so those that see you can't understand the pain and sickness you go through everyday.The piles of medication that you take just to live and go another day is tiring. Not being able to enjoy the life you once had can be depressing. You have to learn to live a whole new life.

Why is lupus a cruel mystery to you?

Lupus has impacted my life because I have no insurance, I have had to pay for all my medical and due to lupus we lost our house, we almost lost our marriage. It can also effect your sex live as well. It is not an easy disease to live with. But it is what it is, we just need to find a cure so that no one else suffers.
