I'm ok thank you abit fatigued but been naughty and not paced myself this week....you know how it goes one job leads to another 🙄i was diagnosed with lupus and lupus nephritis 2 years ago after been told for 5 years nothing was wrong yet unable to come off prednisolone.im now on hydroxchloroquine prednisolone and mmf and have so far been relatively stable.

I'm a pleased you are able to be happy...I think being positive makes a difference in how you live and cope with all the changes and challenges AI illness brings xx

Hi Beverley I think it really helps being positive - it’s hard sometimes with the ups and downs of lupus but I try to have a smile on my face everyday and appreciate all the good things in life. Best wishes x

Hi Beverly, no one truly knows what rash of us is going through. Our daily struggles. I’m not ashamed to say I’ve thought I’d rather be dead than to continue the rollercoaster of being chronically ill. But today, when I feel GREAT, it’s make all those bad times disappear! Like having a baby! The pain is gone and forgotten because your filled with joy! I hope you can embrace the joyful times. We are here for you during the lonely dark moments! 💗
