    Imagine dealing with PTSD,Bipolar 1 disorder, Type 2 diabetes, Lupus and going through Menapause and u are surrounded by Stress no matter how much u try to aviod it..Doctors say ..No stress ,no over doing it ,and get plenty of rest...😂😂😂😂 i just laughed and laughed..i said Doc. U do know where and all who i live with ..4 screaming children..none of which are mine ,my son and his very ununderstaning and disrespectful girlfriend who wants to fight or leave all her kids on me repeatedly with out even asking ... well i spoke up for myself and told them my feelings and thoughts on the way i was being treated and now i am without a place to live ,and i am moving again for the 78th time since i was 6 years of age...that is alot of trama on my 4"10 120lb body ,my only child ,a son of 30 years of age has shown no concern or understanding to my illnesses that are taking over ...i think this has become a losing battle ,I've been fighting so long that i just don't see me ever winning...not this time ,i feel to weak 😢

    I am anxious, depressed ,weakness through out my whole body 😢i literally push myself to get out of bed,to just leave to go anywhere, i used to look forward to going to the Grocery store ,i hardly ever get out anymore ,i don't drive ,my muscles jump to much or involuntary muscle movements, when i do sleep it on lots of pillows for circulation, behind me,under my legs and on each side for my arms .all propped up along with soooo much muscle creams and lots of moisturizers and The Massage heated machines, Epsom salt is definitely a must with the hemp and for muscle soreness with moisturizers ,so many vitamins, protein vitamin ensure drinks ,it has all become very tiresome and irritating that your whole day is revolved around all the shit u have to do to try and feel human, normal ..none of this is ever normal 😢i miss who i used to be ..i feel like an Alien in a body i am just a passenger in someone else's body ,i look in the mirror and just see a person i don't recognize anymore.. the Misty i used to be has been gone or lost a long time ago, I miss feeling normal if there is such a thing 😢😢😢

    I have type 2 Diabetes as well as severe neuropathy wide spread Fibermayalgia and Carpal tunnel in both hands on top of my Lupus ..both hereditary. My mother's side is Lupus and Cancer & Diabetes. My father's side is type 1 Diabetes and Bipolar 1 disorder. I am the middle child ,I feel like a magnet that has drawn all of these disabilities except the Major Cancer genes ..knock on wood ...I am in sooo much pain ,I lost 100 lbs ,and so much of my muscle tone,severe muscle deterioration ,weakness in my upper and lower limbs ,they are giving me injections steroids and anti-inflammatories in my spine and both wrist & palms just for mobility, it has become a task just to walk, simple things like cooking or anything that involves heavy lifting, it hurts just to carry a gallon of milk ,my hair is always falling out ,my skin doesn't even pick up any pigmentation anymore ,I've become forgetful, my short term memory has gotten unnerving, and my long term has become very vast and long..PTSD from all the trauma my body and mental state has gotten to much to handle at times, I am always organizing and cleaning so I always know where every thing is ,my music and aromatherapy & a sense of humor and my Faith in God are my only things that keep me grounded 😢

    I have SLE and I would not ever wish this horrible disease upon anyone. No one understands each moment of a day with Lupus unless you are dealing with it. Chronic illness has cost me a forty years marriage. Ex. was not wanting no part of my illness even though I was always there for him and my children and grandchildren. My life has been turned upside down. God helps me to keep trying to make sense and friends with this debilitating illness. My heart 💜 breaks whenever I hear of a woman with lupus. 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜

Ive been told I have reynauds syndrome in the past, have a sensitivity to sulfa medications and have bowel issues. About two years ago had a rash all over my body. Doesn't happen enough to feel like it's anything in particular but I have a sibling who was diagnosed with lupus so have been wondering

    I, too have lupus (almost 16yrs) as well as other complications ( nephritis, hypothyroidism, anemia, alopecia just to name some) and have been on dialysis. I just want to say to the ones who suspect they have it to take charge and talk to a doctor right away. The sooner they figure out what's going on, the better. Also DO NOT be afraid to speak up and be persistent if the doctor doesn't believe you. If you must find another doctor, this disease is too devastating to be taken lightly by a doctor who won't listen. For my newly diagnosed lupies, I know this is a lot, but remember you are not alone. One of my biggest advice is to please be compliant with your medications and doctors' appointments. I know it's easier said than done with everything we have going on but trust me it's not worth more meds, more hospital stays/visits or missing out with loved ones. Take it from me, taking your medications and going to your doctors' appointments will save you from so many problems. Not to mention your life.. Phew! I didn't mean to go on like this but if I can spare someone from all the unnecessary heartache then it's worth it. Remember we have Lupus, Lupus doesn't have us! Peace and Love everyone.

    I spent over five years in bed before and then after being diagnosed. My sister said she thought i was on meth. I'm 5'9, and got down to 110lbs. I've been really sick, but instead of seeing what lupus is, (nobody in my family history has had autoimmune issues, so the multiple ones I've been dx'd with aren't understood by my family) she just assumed I'm a meth addict. It breaks my heart, but what do you do.
