Lupus is an amazing illness that you learn to live with, side by side.
I was diagnosed in 2003 at the age of 25 and everyday I am learning my limitations. I can't move around as well as I use to or do the daily routine with ease as I once did. During my pregnancy I had numerous complications, leading up to a horrible delivery that was 9 weeks early. Two years later, I had a stroke which still causes many problems. Most days I endure the more common annoying problems... joints that stick and ache, fevers that drain you, pounding headaches, and extreme fatigue. I have always been very independent and it has been difficult to rely on others. But, I must. I have a wonderful 7 year daughter who helps where she can and I am thankful to have the support of those who love me.
