Happy Dysautonomia Awareness Month!

It is important to raise awareness for dysautonomia as it is critical to funding research and helping people who struggle with it

So proud of my transformation after needing prednisone (a steroid) for 2 years!

I needed it for my kidneys. My lupus was taking them over, but I am now in remission and was able to stop the steroids! This transformation was all my metabolism and cutting most sugar out of my every day diet. I can't exercise very much because my legs don't work well. I still walk with a cane... read more

There is no cure. It is unpredictable. It varies from person to person. It is chronic illness.

The Chronically Ill life

Going to hospitals, doctors appointments, and specialists, seeking answers while everyone else lives there lives normally, is a different kind of loneliness... 💔

Maybe I'll get answers eventually

So I was finally about to see a rheumatologist and maybe eventually get some answers. My legs always hurt like hell at night so he asked me to take pictures of them when they flare up. I have no idea what this is caused by but this happens nightly at this point

Lupus

Sometimes lupus looks like this. A rash that can't be explained. A raised, red/purple, moving and changing by the hour rash. Dermatologists took 2 biopsies from that rash (on my other arm) because they thought it was fungal due to the ring shape the rash made. It was not. Lupus is in my skin.... read more

Diagnosed with: POTS, (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, IBS, Chronic Migraines, Asthma, CFS, & Epilepsy. I can't manage most of them because a lot of medications interact with other medications or interact badly with other illnesses. I'm not on disability... read more

Sign of lupus: malar rash (butterfly rash)

It likes to pop up and remind me I'm chronically ill 🤒 (I'm referring to the redness across my cheeks and nose jic you don't know) Sorry, I don't feel flustered or in love.... I just have a permanent blush 🫠🙃
