Hi everyone!

Hope y'll doing just fine. Let me introduce myself. You guys can call me Xechoo.

I was diagnosed with Lupus 3months ago and am 25 years old.

I still can't adapt with my lupus, i feel so hard sometimes to face the symptomps. Since the last month i am so lost, i have no clue how to deal with it. My hand start shaking badly recently, and am out of breath sometimes. I feel like i need moral support. I feel that no one understand me🥺🥺

Thanks.

Sending my hug...

If you are out of breath ask for a CT of your lungs. Lupus can affect various organs, so the sooner any damage is picked up the better.

It has damaged my lungs and I have quite bad scarring (fibrosis) now which can’t be mended.

welcome to the group !

It’s really hard when friends or family say unhelpful things ☹️.

This is a lovely group packed full of information by people who really know their stuff ! Best thing you can do is keep good notes about your symptoms and photos if needed . We end up having lots of appointments and it’s so easy to get overwhelmed and forget what has happened or changed .

You take care 😘xxx

Honestly we have to treat our illnesses like a part time job 🤓. The most IMPORTANT thing I’ve learned is to be kind and caring to yourself . Quite a lot of people on here have illnesses that over lap so if you’ve ever got a question it’s worth posting on the other forums like scleroderma . Other forums aren’t as active as this one but you often do get a good response from at least a couple of people xx

Welcome Xechoo to the group. It does take some time to adapt to your diagnosis, try not to be too hard on yourself. It does get better with time.

Sending loads of hugs. Take care

Hello xechoo,It is difficult to adapt to symptoms of Lupus. It will take awhile for you to accept your new normal. But you will be fine. You will find things that that work for as you go along. Listen to your body and have a rest when it says rest. This is a very good support group. So you can ask question about things elated to your condition and people will share their experiences. Take care.
