Welcome to My World
Hello to all. I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised there for a short period of time. I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in 1995, and then I moved to California. When I first moved to California my diagnosis was changed to MCTD (mixed connective tissue disease). Since my first diagnosis, I have discovered that I have the factor V Leiden mutation, pulmonary embolism, ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura), anemia, arthritis, immunosupression, subacute cutaneous lupus (Discoid lupus), hypertension, Raynauds phenomenon, membranous lupus nephritis, fibromyalgia, migraine with aura, and the most recent encephalopathy. There are possibly more conditions that I could have as well. This illness comes with a line of overlapping illnesses and as time passes, more things occur. I'm at the point where I'm just trying to balance it all. My life has been extremely challenging since my time as a young girl. But I’ve managed to make the best of it. This is a view of my circumstance and life experience. Each person with lupus is different with different experiences.
I've lived with lupus since the age of 9. It's been one of the most struggling experiences of my life. I feel as though my life was stolen from me. I battle every day in hopes of one day finding a cure! I used to be so embarrassed about my condition because I felt as though many would judge me or misunderstand me. Now I'm very vocal about it because I know the benefits of raising awareness. Please help support and raise awareness!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story! Check out the rest of the website and contact me for questions, support, feedback or any concerns. Take Care and Stay Blessed!
