Hi to all π
I've had systemic lupus for 10 years and l was diagnosed when my first child was born. I've suffered like so many people that l've read about but l believe that you should take your medication and listen to your doctor... I've been working for 6 years and also bringing up my children, which is not easy at times when l have flares but by keeping active and not moping about with self pity actually makes my lupus feel so much better and now my consultant at hospital has now stated that my blood test is showing as no active lupus and this has been this way for 5 years, since l started working as a support worker with elderly and young people. I gain very little support with my children and my children see me as a strong mother. By pushing myself out of depression as most people with lupus is challenging but life is for all people.. I still take my medication which is hydroxychloroquine, to manage my lupus and by keeping active will help your immune system. I stopped taking my medication for two years and my blood levels still showed as not active. I believe by keeping active, helps Systemic Lupus... Go for it!!!!! Kick Lupus
I don't really think it's quite as simple as that.
