I have Lupus (SLE) too; I was diagnosed over 30 years ago. I have gone through a lot, but I can't quit because quitting is not in my vocabulary. Yes, it gets very difficult at times, but I know God hasn't brought me this far to leave me and the same for my Lupus Warrior Brothers and Sisters.
I have lupus also..since i was 18 years old I'm 40 years old now.. been though alot but i'm o bleesed to still be here.. Just thought i would tell my testimony..
I knew that Nick had lupus but I never knew the things he has to go through dealing with it. I’m glad that he told his story because now I know more about this illness.
I Have Lupus Too & Its Exactly What He's Saying. It's So Tuff & Ruff Ty So Much Nick Cannon For Telling Your Story Because This Is Exactly What I feel All The Time. I Feel So Alone At Times Dealing With This & Facing Death In The Same Ways. Than After All The Medications Side Effects Can Cause Added Illness.Yes This Opens The Door 4 You To Obtain More Illness, Your Body Is More Sensitive. But Now I Want 2 Say TY & I Don't Feel So Alone Anymore. Finally Someone Understands ME💜Thanks😘❤🙏 @NickCannon U WILL LIVE A LONG PROSPEROUS LIFE BLESSING SENT 2 U & YOUR WAY. REMEMBER TO PRAY WITH FAITH, NAMESTE 💜 💞💜
Toni Braxton battles the same thing too. I can't imagine what her and Nick be going through, by the way he describes this, it's something very unpleasant to have. I will say that he is thinking very positive on this issue and is trying to live his life.
I feel you. Don't have lupus but I have anxiety and depression thats almost eaten me alive. Without my relationship w God and His grace I'm not sure I'd be alive. He continues to save me every day 👊 Stay strong
I recently found out I have Lupus when I went into to my doctors office to take a pregnancy test. They told me Congratulations you have a baby, bad side to it your at a high risk pregnancy because you also have lupus. I'll never forget how I felt sitting in that chair trying to take in everything I was being told. I'm scared for my health, for my baby's health but most importantly how I'll be able to mentally take it all it in. He makes it look so easy & I guess as time goes on it will be, but he gives me hope that if can deal with it & be okay & learn to cope in a very positive way, hopefully I'll be able to do the same soon.
Nela Talalelei my best friend has lupus, she only got morning sickness once, she did have a premature birth, he was quite tiny and her blood pressure was quite high but today he’s 9 months. She just stopped breastfeeding last month and she’s back on her medications but she’s happy and healthy as is the baby 💜
I basically grew up with this man.. I was a kid watching him on All That... faithfully watch Wild ‘n’ out. I take my hat off to him because no matter what, he still doing his thing despite it all!! 👏🏾
I have lupus and was diagnosed in 2013, my last semester in college. I still walked across that stage with a BA in Mass Communication. I'm still fighting everyday and currently teaching Journalism at a local high school. I take prednisone, plaqunil, methotrexate, and imuran. Stay strong brother, you are not alone!!
As MEN we beat the odds we are the 10% & Women are the 90%. I say we beat the odds & it’s a TEST…..We’ve been CHOSEN to be the STRONG 💪🏽❤️s & CONTINUE ALWAYS 🤲
I was diagnosed with lupus in 2014. I was devastated at hearing the diagnoses and was in denial for months. With my first appointment with my rheumatologist, I was so sick and I felt so old, it was difficult to move. It's exactly as Nick says, some days you can hardly move and get out of bed so I decided that I will not allow lupus to define me and I will beat it every morning. Now I wake up with a prayer of gratitude and before getting out of bed, I decide what my day would be like. Oh my, I so relate with everything he says. It's exactly the attitude and outlook I have about life. I was always wondering about my purpose on earth. Now, with lupus, if I can make a difference in one person's life, that question is no longer needed. I know I am Blessed when I open my eyes in the morning.
3 years ago yesterday i lost my love my heart my big brother he was only 27 and he lost his battle to lupus and that was the worst day of my life. I watched the life leave his eyes and still to this day i see his face i feel i could have done more for him. My father also suffers from this disease.. Lupus is very real it is still a fight that has no winner in the end. Thanks for the love guys it's not going unnoticed!!! I appreciate all the words of encouragement. I've never spoke on this before so it was a great somewhat release on some of the bottled emotions and i appreciate all of you..
30 year survivor.. it's an every day struggle.. thank you for making those aware of this disease you cannot see and the painful effects on you every day.. take care Nick! God bless
Lion Entertainment how do you handle it?recently got diagnosed, for the past 3 years I thought I had arthritis but lately I’ve been so sick and got tested and found positive for Lupus. I struggle everyday coz my arms swell and become stiff I can barely do anything. I’m still trying to understand what’s going on 😔
In am just starting my lupus journey now. I live in daily agony, but keep getting up everyday for my family. I love the mindset of "live for right now". I know it is easier said than done, but when you don't know whether you're going to live to see tomorrow, you have to treat every day as a blessing. Cheers to all of us just surviving, and trying to live in the moment.
Beautiful spirit this man has. I struggle with fibromyalgia and I don't know if I can stay that positive through the pain all the time. Thank you, Nick, for your perseverance and your beautiful spirit!
Lupus is very hard to diagnose because it mimics other diseases.. I like that he lives for today & doesn't worry about the future.. God has you Nick & you are definitely in my prayers!
I look up to you your sooo blessed! I know how you feel.... I was diagnosed with cancer and had my first surgery on my 38th birthday March 9,2018. I'm a single mom of 3. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced... I think the hardest part was telling my kids that I had cancer... I was diagnosed with rare rare cancer of my muscles and flesh in my back I'm that 1% It looked like I was attacked by a shark and I have pain every day. I thank God I'm alive... Its been tough fighting for my life, working, stressing over bills and trying to hide my pain from my kids. I had a total of 3 surgeries a few months ago. My surgeon said it was pretty bad... I go for another PET scan hopefully November 1,2018. I thank God for holding me up.... and I pray for everyone that's battling for their lives. It's funny I work at a hospital in San Antonio and most don't know because I smile and hide my pain.... my passion is helping others... I LOVE encouraging others to never give up.we have to give the baton to God. I thank God for everything, my kids making airplane sounds as they hand fed me after surgery 😊 I had to learn how to eat and brush my teeth all over again. I thank God for all the love from my family,friends, and coworkers.. it has been quite a journey 🙏. God bless you always Nick and anybody going through some tough times
Battled lupus since sle Dec 2005. He broke it down so very well. I rejoice on my good days. Praise God for every day. Lupus is frustrating exhausting and something most people don't understand. Praying for Nick a good man.
I have lupus & it's no joke but glory be to God & my amazing doctor. Everything he says I've gone through minus the chemo. I was diagnosed in 2016 & now i am in remission. God is good!
Grateful for this testimony. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and spent a good 3 years in and out of hospitals. By the grace of God my life has taken a turn that even my doctors have referred to as a miracle. The last few weeks have been a little rough but I have slot to be grateful for. I've managed to build a 6 figure business and that business is designed to keep running even on days when I can't. I think in life you take what you have and do with it what you can. It's been my experience that as long as I keep doing this God fills in the gaps and then some. Many blessings for all those in the fight. Keep your head up. Keep coming back to stories like this one above and rest whenever rest is needed.
Sickle cell is worse. Everyone suffers with SC. Some people like myself have lupus and never have to go to hospital or anything. I can handle my bad days, my friend with SC cannot, she has to be admitted to hospital. Difference is Lupus affects everyone differently while with SC it affects you all the same.
Very inspiring Nick. I have Sickle Cell but Sickle cell doesn't have me. I never knew how similar Lupus & Sickle Cell are. We gotta not take Today for granted.
Lupus patient can have a normal life if they take care of themselves and follow doctor's advices, my wife has been a lupus patient since 2014;indeed, sometimes she had some headache , pain joint, stiffness, but overall she has a normal life: she works, she takes care of the baby and me.... A point I can say she is stranger then me ... I am proud of her, she never give up and I will be on her side until death I love her too much. I want to say to all lupus patients: you can have a normal life just follow up with your doctors and be a vegetarians, workout, no processed food , no meat just fish, fresh air and meditation practices like prayers, yoga, meditation ( avoid stress maximum) I love you all and take care god bless you.
I truly understand. thats how i feel sometime. I have Multiple Sclerosis which is another auto immune disease like Lupus. Nick is a good guy and a fighter u would never know what he was going through from watching Wild n Out. I have always loved Nick. I actually like some of his movies. Lol im being brave and admitting it. Keep pushing Nick!!!
Multiple Sclerosis is caused by excess meat intake and Vitamin D deficiency .. research Dr Swank and the simple diet he used to reverse MS in his patients . Also look into the Mcdougall protocol & how veganism alongside Vit D supplementation will reverse Ms ! Peace & Love❤️🙏🏽 jus reply if u want me to get u more information family
@@Gucciboabuxk873 Please STFU. I have MS too, it's EXTREMELY offensive when someone who obviously knows nothing about MS or any auto immune disorders tries to tell us it's caused by x, y and z and that some diet, magic pill or juice can take it away. It's not a cold idiot.
Lupus has changed my entire life. ...I use to could say those things, when first diagnosed. Now it turned my world upside down. .Pray one day I can get to a space where having life is good again. ..
im in that same place right now in my life with crohns & uc. im just praying for brighter days ahead that are filled with strength. my dog was one of the only 2 things in my life that gave me the motivation and desire to keep on keepin to the next minuet and to the next day, her love that she gave me and the unbreakable bond and attachment we shared for 11 years was therapeutic and healing. However, her life was unexpectedly ended due to an aggressive form of cancer in her spleen. She fought such a strong and brave battle against the cancer without ever letting us know how much pain she was experiencing due to the fact that she fought her battle against cancer silently without ever giving on to anyone how sick she was. Loosing her is extremely hard because im now trying to figure out what life is like without her. She was my motivation to not let the pain stop me from getting up and push through another day and take another step forward.
Sounds like me with my three successive mini strokes. I'm still here...for some reason. I try to spread love and kindness with whatever time I have left.
Love this! His words really touched me. I Was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 14 and I just celebrated my 29th bday this past month. It's a rough ride so being positive becomes so difficult. But I'm learning. God would never put more on us than we can bear. Stay strong yall 💜💜
My mother was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 16 suffered a mild heart attack and both kidneys failed. She got a transplant in the largest kidney swap back in 2010 and has been healthy and happy since. She will be 50 next year. My second oldest sister was diagnosed with lupus January 2010 at the age of 17 after she suffered a stroke she’s had 1 flare back in 2013 but has been healthy and happy and even put on a few pounds since then. My oldest sister was diagnosed with lupus February 2018 and has since become vegan and works out and lives a healthy lifestyle she’s 27. Lupus can be a scary thing but having these 3 amazing women in my life fighting a great fight and pushing through no matter how rough the rough days get just reminds me that having God #1 in your life anything is possible! He’s brought us through our storms and continues to show us there are brighter days ahead!
Thanks for sharing. I've had it for 33 years now and i feel so happy because I've willed myself to stay strong, well and positive. Thank God, i have been able to go to work every day. Working to pursue my Masters in Accounting. God bless.
Continue to stay prayed up and en joy each and every moment of your life. I had a cousin that had it. She was only 17 but she kept pushing with smiles every day. Remember our God know your pain and that every day is another blessing.
I had lupus for 5 years now and it’s been a bumpy road but I made it and I’m still in battle we are all still in battle...but I learned that it’s best to stay positive and be thankful for being able to move and just being able to go into the kitchen and make breakfast... 🙂 cause it was days where I couldn’t make my own food or bathe myself... but I thank God and the support from family and friends that I can do that now...some days are still bumpy but I’m pushing.. last year I wrote a song about my lupus experience and I just recently uploaded it on my channel if you listen to it I hope you get some motivation from it and continue to live each day at your best ❤️🌸
What a great explanation. Been living with it for 29 years and I’m 40 now. Lupies... make sure that you have a plan A, B and C. Appreciate life and live as best as you can 😘🇬🇧
God continue to bless you. My sister died at age 63. She was very strong. She was my hero. She never complaint about her illness. Thanks for your testimony
My Mom is living with Lupus n Fibromyalgia n she has described it just like Nick has... It is so wonderful to hear someone share their private battles with this tyrant of a disease. Kudos to Nick Cannon for being so open yet remaining enthusiastically positive 💯👍🏾 There isn't a soul on the face of this earth that isn't battling something.... My thghts n prayers go out to those strong warriors - God bless! 🤗
Inspiration 💜💜💜 i also have lupus, scleroderma(recently diagnosed), sjogrens, Raynauds and other autoimmune diseases.. and I really needed to hear this .. thank you.
Man I really applaud him for having such a positive attitude 24/7. I had no idea his disease was this bad. But yet he continues the always uplift those around him and walk around with a smile on his face! I learned a lesson today well watching this. I don't have Lupus I don't have any life-threatening disease so I have no reason to complain or grumble about anything! I need to embrace life and love those around me with all I have and treat my body better than I have been doing. Thank you Nick for sharing you're amazing story. You are an amazing person and you will be continually in my prayers.
God Bless Nick - did not even know he was experiencing this illness. I totally get his perspective about living in the now; tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
I also have an autoimmune, called ME/CFS. It does not have as much research as Lupus, so we have very little information about how to treat it. I'm glad that there are treatments available for Nick. He has such a great temperament: there's no anger visible here, only acceptance and love 💜
I can relate to the chest pain and everything you are describing. Definitely not easy to live with having but keep fighting 🙏🏾👑 we've got this! #LupusWarrior
I hope he is here forever! I have Lupus also and this video and him talking about his personal battle is a HUGE help to me! Thank you for sharing! God be with you and everybody who sees this video.
I was diagnosed last month and I also got a serious blood clot like him too. It was the time when I’m planning to step forward in my career/business/ambitions and applying for a scholarship abroad. After I got the test result, my dreams shattered. I cried endlessly for nearly 2 weeks. I used to think it’s that I was just like other lazy person. My stress/body ache was probably caused by school and works I’d been doing. I’ve been working real hard and always think ahead in life. Now I had to quit all energy consuming activities. I can’t do the same as a normal woman in her mid-20s?? However just want to say I do appreciate this video I found after I just came out of my depressive cave. He really inspired me at some points. Maybe god would like me to slow down a bit and enjoy the moment which I often neglected this whole time. I stopped for a second and embracing some self love and know my own limits. It’s blessing and curse sometimes when I know I couldn’t go further with this shitty energy level I have. Truly it’s really hurt sometimes to watch my friends getting successful and having a normal family/healthy kids, which I don’t think I ever could...
Much blessings on your life. I grew up watching you and your talent evolve. Much respect to you for sharing your struggle it sheds light on a very misunderstood disease.
Exactly as he said "he has Lupus it doesn't have him"...many other people need to think about that also with whatever they may be facing, dealing with etc. Nicely done Nick.
My prayers are with you.i also have an autoimmune disease.i have Sarcoidosis, with mulit organ involvement.no one can quite understand what we go through unless they are going through it as well.
All the best Nick Cannon. I have loved and respected you for so long- Good luck with your health- I love your enthusiasm and wisdom- it is so wonderful
2012 was a big year for the beginning of spiritual awakenings. I can tell by his words of vibrations, frequency and love that he's in that space where energy is EVERYTHING. What you project and allow yourself to take in will make or break you. Namaste Nick!
I’m a lupus warrior it’s so difficult some people don’t understand that just because u look healthy doesn’t mean u not struggling I was diagnosed 1999 n it’s so confusing n u don’t understand all these different symptoms u getting. Nick I truly understand exactly what u going but we r warriors n we gonna get through this there’s no cure but we gonna live as best as we could. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. I’m in the hospital as I write this right now but I’m not gonna give up.
My heart completely goes out to him. For someone who lost a mother to lupus. To see him still so full of life and still fighting brings tears to my eyes. I commend him for all he has done. For everyone who has lupus keep fighting stay strong 💪🏾 this is but a battle that’ll make you a solider of GOD.
Wise words and very inteligent man honestly its true his outlook on life is one we shouldnt take for granted. Each day is a blessing and surround yourself with people who lift you up and see the beauty in you.
I know this is going to sound messed up but it feels good to hear someone say what I've been saying for years. I swear people think I'm being overdramatic. It gets frustrating having to explain this.
I've had lupus also since 2006. It's very hard trying to maintain working and just surviving daily especially someone who's income is not supplemented. Some days that drop of faith is what gets me through. I feel for anyone who have to live with this disease but to know I'm not alone gives me a lil more strength to Stay Strong.
Man Nick is a strong dude.Grew up watching him he always smiles and he loves to make people laugh with or at him. Nick doesn't have nothing to lose he always have a good attitude.
I have 2 sisters with Lupus, they speak the same way. Stay stress free ...I wish there was more support groups and awareness about it. Only those dealing with it can truly relate. Blessings to you.
My Mom died from Lupus at 38. When He was talking about His experiences I literally seen Her. Nick You're fighting a fucking tough battle and I can tell Your a Soldier. Man I have a totally different perspective and level of respect for You. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Love you, Nick. Than you for speaking your truth. I lost my Mom 11 days before my 19th birthday, she was 38 and wasn't able to live in a time of medical advances of today. I'm sure she's proud to hear you.
Wow this is a serious matter I've had two bff's pass away from lupus and it's symptoms. I seen them go through so much pain and suffering.God bless you Nick praying for you.
He is absolutely right about the pulmonary embolisms (blood clots). I was diagnosed with them last year. Mine were so bad, they caused the right side of my heart to fail. The ER doctors said the if I had gone home first instead of going directly to the hospital , I would not have lived. I'm still feeling the effects of the clots a year later but you have to get up every day and you push through.
Wow... every time I see this brother he is always smiling, positilve and joking. Who knew that he regularly faces serious health conditions. He is someone to celebrate and look up too. He is a warrior!!
God has kept you here because you have the love of God even though you go through things you still have a smile and POSITIVE ENERGY!! THANKS FOR SHARING 💜💜💜WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE SYMPTOMS IN ADULTS OR CHILDREN??
I have two auntie's that has lupus but my mom's oldest sister has lupus, asthma, bronchitis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a Heart monitor, and alone with the covid 19 early this year in may they had to put her in icu for about 2 or 3 months she was high risk 😪! She's doing pretty good 👍 thk god and bk at home but both of them still have lupus.. strong 💪 ladies! Love 💘 ya nickcannon may God bless you 🙏 for sharing your story

I'm 39 and just being diagnosed, thanks for this! I needed it more then you know 💜
Lupus hurts.. it took years for me to understand what was wrong! I have to fight my body to work .. I will tell myself get up! Don’t be weak..
Mike Texas904 sun sensitivity is part of the disease. His head wear he’s stated is partly spiritual and just his swag!😁
Lori Morales I thought it was just muscle deterioration and paralysis. I never thought it hurt so bad. Lupus victims are strong people.
Keep telling your body to work it is so much power in the tongue. God bless you!
Moringa is good,it comes in capsule and you can google it

So inspiring! I wish I could hear him speak more. It would be amazing if he decided to have his own podcast. Great guy!
He did a million interviews on VladTV. You may want to check him out on CZcams.

Beautiful..
Paola Bueso facts!Nick is a great person.
Paola Bueso I would like to hear more from him too. Has he written a book about these things?
That vibe was so strong, I felt it! Living stress free is the key.
I basically grew up with this man.. I was a kid watching him on All That... faithfully watch Wild ‘n’ out. I take my hat off to him because no matter what, he still doing his thing despite it all!! 👏🏾
I don't think he was on All That

Fellow lupus warrior...thanks for your inspiration! Sending you love and hugs!
3 years ago yesterday i lost my love my heart my big brother he was only 27 and he lost his battle to lupus and that was the worst day of my life. I watched the life leave his eyes and still to this day i see his face i feel i could have done more for him. My father also suffers from this disease.. Lupus is very real it is still a fight that has no winner in the end.
Thanks for the love guys it's not going unnoticed!!! I appreciate all the words of encouragement. I've never spoke on this before so it was a great somewhat release on some of the bottled emotions and i appreciate all of you..
Shaniqua Whitehead sorry for your lost , my condolences to you and your family. I pray for healing

Lion Entertainment how do you handle it?recently got diagnosed, for the past 3 years I thought I had arthritis but lately I’ve been so sick and got tested and found positive for Lupus. I struggle everyday coz my arms swell and become stiff I can barely do anything. I’m still trying to understand what’s going on 😔

God has him here for a REASON...he's a very strong mind and has very positive attitude may God BLESS you Nick🙏
In am just starting my lupus journey now. I live in daily agony, but keep getting up everyday for my family. I love the mindset of "live for right now". I know it is easier said than done, but when you don't know whether you're going to live to see tomorrow, you have to treat every day as a blessing. Cheers to all of us just surviving, and trying to live in the moment.
Beautiful spirit this man has. I struggle with fibromyalgia and I don't know if I can stay that positive through the pain all the time. Thank you, Nick, for your perseverance and your beautiful spirit!
It's a day by day give God praise, and thank him that you're still here
I suffer with the same thing thank God for his grace and mercy
I will be praying for Nick for healing and wholeness. He’s such a BLESSING to us!!!
Your not alone Nick cannon I have lupus too
Hey beautiful...I have 2 sisters with lupus. Stay strong and motivated.
Lupus is very hard to diagnose because it mimics other diseases.. I like that he lives for today & doesn't worry about the future.. God has you Nick & you are definitely in my prayers!
I look up to you your sooo blessed! I know how you feel.... I was diagnosed with cancer and had my first surgery on my 38th birthday March 9,2018. I'm a single mom of 3. It was the worst pain I've ever experienced... I think the hardest part was telling my kids that I had cancer... I was diagnosed with rare rare cancer of my muscles and flesh in my back I'm that 1% It looked like I was attacked by a shark and I have pain every day. I thank God I'm alive... Its been tough fighting for my life, working, stressing over bills and trying to hide my pain from my kids. I had a total of 3 surgeries a few months ago. My surgeon said it was pretty bad... I go for another PET scan hopefully November 1,2018. I thank God for holding me up.... and I pray for everyone that's battling for their lives. It's funny I work at a hospital in San Antonio and most don't know because I smile and hide my pain.... my passion is helping others... I LOVE encouraging others to never give up.we have to give the baton to God. I thank God for everything, my kids making airplane sounds as they hand fed me after surgery 😊 I had to learn how to eat and brush my teeth all over again. I thank God for all the love from my family,friends, and coworkers.. it has been quite a journey 🙏. God bless you always Nick and anybody going through some tough times
snding healing ur way love you
Thank Thank sooooo much
Wow
@@jn8921 Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
U can look good to others while in a flare up but when you look in the eyes they don't lie 👀👀💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Battled lupus since sle Dec 2005. He broke it down so very well. I rejoice on my good days. Praise God for every day. Lupus is frustrating exhausting and something most people don't understand. Praying for Nick a good man.
This was so inspiring, you never know what anyone is going through behind closed doors.
I have lupus & it's no joke but glory be to God & my amazing doctor. Everything he says I've gone through minus the chemo. I was diagnosed in 2016 & now i am in remission. God is good!
Thank you so much for sharing your story Nick. God Bless you!!! Prayers
Grateful for this testimony. I was diagnosed 10 years ago and spent a good 3 years in and out of hospitals. By the grace of God my life has taken a turn that even my doctors have referred to as a miracle. The last few weeks have been a little rough but I have slot to be grateful for. I've managed to build a 6 figure business and that business is designed to keep running even on days when I can't. I think in life you take what you have and do with it what you can. It's been my experience that as long as I keep doing this God fills in the gaps and then some.
Many blessings for all those in the fight. Keep your head up. Keep coming back to stories like this one above and rest whenever rest is needed.
Live your best life
Wow gave me chills!!!! You got this !!!! You are highly favored ❤️🙏
I knew something was going on. I have Sickle Cell Disease it does the same thing. Thank you for sharing because I educate everywhere I go.
Try Moringa and Xango Mangosteen juice
Sickle cell is worse. Everyone suffers with SC. Some people like myself have lupus and never have to go to hospital or anything.
I can handle my bad days, my friend with SC cannot, she has to be admitted to hospital.
Difference is Lupus affects everyone differently while with SC it affects you all the same.
I can understand because I have RA and I have my bad days but I learned to push through. This was so inspiring to listen to.
Ive had lupus since 1997. I know everything he has n is going thru. But were fighter's and I'm now 38 n still here fighting
Very inspiring Nick. I have Sickle Cell but Sickle cell doesn't have me. I never knew how similar Lupus & Sickle Cell are. We gotta not take Today for granted.
Lupus patient can have a normal life if they take care of themselves and follow doctor's advices, my wife has been a lupus patient since 2014;indeed, sometimes she had some headache , pain joint, stiffness, but overall she has a normal life: she works, she takes care of the baby and me.... A point I can say she is stranger then me ... I am proud of her, she never give up and I will be on her side until death I love her too much. I want to say to all lupus patients: you can have a normal life just follow up with your doctors and be a vegetarians, workout, no processed food , no meat just fish, fresh air and meditation practices like prayers, yoga, meditation ( avoid stress maximum) I love you all and take care god bless you.
Youre right bro!
I truly understand. thats how i feel sometime. I have Multiple Sclerosis which is another auto immune disease like Lupus. Nick is a good guy and a fighter u would never know what he was going through from watching Wild n Out. I have always loved Nick. I actually like some of his movies. Lol im being brave and admitting it. Keep pushing Nick!!!
Tamia (singer, Grant Hills wife) also has MS. I pray all of your strength & Blessings.❤
Multiple Sclerosis is caused by excess meat intake and Vitamin D deficiency .. research Dr Swank and the simple diet he used to reverse MS in his patients . Also look into the Mcdougall protocol & how veganism alongside Vit D supplementation will reverse Ms ! Peace & Love❤️🙏🏽 jus reply if u want me to get u more information family
@@Gucciboabuxk873 Please STFU. I have MS too, it's EXTREMELY offensive when someone who obviously knows nothing about MS or any auto immune disorders tries to tell us it's caused by x, y and z and that some diet, magic pill or juice can take it away. It's not a cold idiot.
Q Wash My mother and mother in law have MS. Keep fighting you are amazing!
Lupus has changed my entire life. ...I use to could say those things, when first diagnosed. Now it turned my world upside down. .Pray one day I can get to a space where having life is good again. ..
im in that same place right now in my life with crohns & uc. im just praying for brighter days ahead that are filled with strength. my dog was one of the only 2 things in my life that gave me the motivation and desire to keep on keepin to the next minuet and to the next day, her love that she gave me and the unbreakable bond and attachment we shared for 11 years was therapeutic and healing. However, her life was unexpectedly ended due to an aggressive form of cancer in her spleen. She fought such a strong and brave battle against the cancer without ever letting us know how much pain she was experiencing due to the fact that she fought her battle against cancer silently without ever giving on to anyone how sick she was. Loosing her is extremely hard because im now trying to figure out what life is like without her. She was my motivation to not let the pain stop me from getting up and push through another day and take another step forward.
@@lauraann1 Praying for you..
He’s so positive and busy I forget he’s fighting. I love me some Nick Cannon!!
EverythingImani I almost forgot that he had it myself.
Sounds like me with my three successive mini strokes. I'm still here...for some reason. I try to spread love and kindness with whatever time I have left.
Love this! His words really touched me. I Was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 14 and I just celebrated my 29th bday this past month. It's a rough ride so being positive becomes so difficult. But I'm learning. God would never put more on us than we can bear. Stay strong yall 💜💜
My mother was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 16 suffered a mild heart attack and both kidneys failed. She got a transplant in the largest kidney swap back in 2010 and has been healthy and happy since. She will be 50 next year. My second oldest sister was diagnosed with lupus January 2010 at the age of 17 after she suffered a stroke she’s had 1 flare back in 2013 but has been healthy and happy and even put on a few pounds since then. My oldest sister was diagnosed with lupus February 2018 and has since become vegan and works out and lives a healthy lifestyle she’s 27. Lupus can be a scary thing but having these 3 amazing women in my life fighting a great fight and pushing through no matter how rough the rough days get just reminds me that having God #1 in your life anything is possible! He’s brought us through our storms and continues to show us there are brighter days ahead!
Amen Yahweh heals 🙏 I HAVE DISCOID LUPUS BLACK SEED OIL WORKS REALLY GOOD 👍
Thanks for sharing. I've had it for 33 years now and i feel so happy because I've willed myself to stay strong, well and positive. Thank God, i have been able to go to work every day. Working to pursue my Masters in Accounting. God bless.
Continue to stay prayed up and en joy each and every moment of your life. I had a cousin that had it. She was only 17 but she kept pushing with smiles every day. Remember our God know your pain and that every day is another blessing.
I had lupus for 5 years now and it’s been a bumpy road but I made it and I’m still in battle we are all still in battle...but I learned that it’s best to stay positive and be thankful for being able to move and just being able to go into the kitchen and make breakfast... 🙂 cause it was days where I couldn’t make my own food or bathe myself... but I thank God and the support from family and friends that I can do that now...some days are still bumpy but I’m pushing..
last year I wrote a song about my lupus experience and I just recently uploaded it on my channel if you listen to it I hope you get some motivation from it and continue to live each day at your best ❤️🌸
What a great explanation. Been living with it for 29 years and I’m 40 now. Lupies... make sure that you have a plan A, B and C. Appreciate life and live as best as you can 😘🇬🇧
God continue to bless you. My sister died at age 63. She was very strong. She was my hero. She never complaint about her illness. Thanks for your testimony
My Mom is living with Lupus n Fibromyalgia n she has described it just like Nick has... It is so wonderful to hear someone share their private battles with this tyrant of a disease. Kudos to Nick Cannon for being so open yet remaining enthusiastically positive 💯👍🏾
There isn't a soul on the face of this earth that isn't battling something.... My thghts n prayers go out to those strong warriors - God bless! 🤗
Wow! I love his motivation and faith in God in spite of.💕🙏🏽
So positive.. keep ur head up Nick!!
Thanks Nick Cannon for sharing your I too am a Lupus Survivor 💜 God Bless you and Heal you from the inside out!!!
Doctors treat but God heals! I pray you live long Nick! You’re a big inspiration to many young people!!
Inspiration 💜💜💜 i also have lupus, scleroderma(recently diagnosed), sjogrens, Raynauds and other autoimmune diseases.. and I really needed to hear this .. thank you.
Such a great spirit...I'm inspired, truly.
Man I really applaud him for having such a positive attitude 24/7. I had no idea his disease was this bad. But yet he continues the always uplift those around him and walk around with a smile on his face! I learned a lesson today well watching this. I don't have Lupus I don't have any life-threatening disease so I have no reason to complain or grumble about anything! I need to embrace life and love those around me with all I have and treat my body better than I have been doing. Thank you Nick for sharing you're amazing story. You are an amazing person and you will be continually in my prayers.
My best friend has lupus God bless you Nick Cannon🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
God Bless Nick - did not even know he was experiencing this illness. I totally get his perspective about living in the now; tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
I also have an autoimmune, called ME/CFS. It does not have as much research as Lupus, so we have very little information about how to treat it. I'm glad that there are treatments available for Nick. He has such a great temperament: there's no anger visible here, only acceptance and love 💜
I have MS (also an autoimmune diease )and this hurt my heart. He explained it perfectly
I can relate to the chest pain and everything you are describing. Definitely not easy to live with having but keep fighting 🙏🏾👑 we've got this! #LupusWarrior
💕he will he’s a fighter he’s an overcomer a believer
I understand that kinda pain and it just breaks my heart
I hope he is here forever! I have Lupus also and this video and him talking about his personal battle is a HUGE help to me! Thank you for sharing! God be with you and everybody who sees this video.
I was diagnosed last month and I also got a serious blood clot like him too. It was the time when I’m planning to step forward in my career/business/ambitions and applying for a scholarship abroad. After I got the test result, my dreams shattered. I cried endlessly for nearly 2 weeks.
I used to think it’s that I was just like other lazy person. My stress/body ache was probably caused by school and works I’d been doing. I’ve been working real hard and always think ahead in life. Now I had to quit all energy consuming activities. I can’t do the same as a normal woman in her mid-20s??
However just want to say I do appreciate this video I found after I just came out of my depressive cave. He really inspired me at some points. Maybe god would like me to slow down a bit and enjoy the moment which I often neglected this whole time. I stopped for a second and embracing some self love and know my own limits. It’s blessing and curse sometimes when I know I couldn’t go further with this shitty energy level I have. Truly it’s really hurt sometimes to watch my friends getting successful and having a normal family/healthy kids, which I don’t think I ever could...
You be careful God bless thanks for sharing your story Nick keep strong 💪
Wonderful show of strength and faith!!! I truly admire your heart and resilience💝
Much blessings on your life. I grew up watching you and your talent evolve. Much respect to you for sharing your struggle it sheds light on a very misunderstood disease.
So sorry for anyone who suffers from this or any illnesses. Wishing Nick the best. This was very humbling.
Exactly as he said "he has Lupus it doesn't have him"...many other people need to think about that also with whatever they may be facing, dealing with etc. Nicely done Nick.
My prayers are with you.i also have an autoimmune disease.i have Sarcoidosis, with mulit organ involvement.no one can quite understand what we go through unless they are going through it as well.
All the best Nick Cannon. I have loved and respected you for so long- Good luck with your health- I love your enthusiasm and wisdom- it is so wonderful
2012 was a big year for the beginning of spiritual awakenings. I can tell by his words of vibrations, frequency and love that he's in that space where energy is EVERYTHING. What you project and allow yourself to take in will make or break you. Namaste Nick!
I’m a lupus warrior it’s so difficult some people don’t understand that just because u look healthy doesn’t mean u not struggling I was diagnosed 1999 n it’s so confusing n u don’t understand all these different symptoms u getting. Nick I truly understand exactly what u going but we r warriors n we gonna get through this there’s no cure but we gonna live as best as we could. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. I’m in the hospital as I write this right now but I’m not gonna give up.
How are you today ma'am?
I’m doing good besides all the pain I’m going through I’m good.
@@jasrosado1215 did you do the vegan diet ma'am? Like Dr Brooke gold she reverse her lupus by using vegan diet and make smoothies
My heart completely goes out to him. For someone who lost a mother to lupus. To see him still so full of life and still fighting brings tears to my eyes. I commend him for all he has done. For everyone who has lupus keep fighting stay strong 💪🏾 this is but a battle that’ll make you a solider of GOD.
Wise words and very inteligent man honestly its true his outlook on life is one we shouldnt take for granted. Each day is a blessing and surround yourself with people who lift you up and see the beauty in you.
I know this is going to sound messed up but it feels good to hear someone say what I've been saying for years. I swear people think I'm being overdramatic. It gets frustrating having to explain this.
I have lupus nephritis syndrome. I definitely can relate to what Nick is saying. It’s a day by day living arrangement. Thanks for sharing 🙏
This is inspiring for all those with lupus and related diseases . What u and Toni are doing is beyond admirable! God bless you with many healthy days
I've had lupus also since 2006. It's very hard trying to maintain working and just surviving daily especially someone who's income is not supplemented. Some days that drop of faith is what gets me through. I feel for anyone who have to live with this disease but to know I'm not alone gives me a lil more strength to Stay Strong.
Man Nick is a strong dude.Grew up watching him he always smiles and he loves to make people laugh with or at him. Nick doesn't have nothing to lose he always have a good attitude.
I really wish that I could talk to him . This would mean so much bc for me having Lupus it's so hard and its so hard sometimes to push forward.
I have 2 sisters with Lupus, they speak the same way. Stay stress free ...I wish there was more support groups and awareness about it. Only those dealing with it can truly relate. Blessings to you.
Nora M you got this!
@@deniseharvey5038 Thanks so much.
My Mom died from Lupus at 38. When He was talking about His experiences I literally seen Her. Nick You're fighting a fucking tough battle and I can tell Your a Soldier. Man I have a totally different perspective and level of respect for You. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Love you, Nick. Than you for speaking your truth. I lost my Mom 11 days before my 19th birthday, she was 38 and wasn't able to live in a time of medical advances of today. I'm sure she's proud to hear you.
Sending you Nick Cannon and all of you with Lupus so much Love and healing light.
Wow this is a serious matter I've had two bff's pass away from lupus and it's symptoms. I seen them go through so much pain and suffering.God bless you Nick praying for you.
He is absolutely right about the pulmonary embolisms (blood clots). I was diagnosed with them last year. Mine were so bad, they caused the right side of my heart to fail. The ER doctors said the if I had gone home first instead of going directly to the hospital , I would not have lived. I'm still feeling the effects of the clots a year later but you have to get up every day and you push through.
Thanks for sharing your an inspiration to persevere through it, May God give you comfort and strength.
Wow... every time I see this brother he is always smiling, positilve and joking. Who knew that he regularly faces serious health conditions. He is someone to celebrate and look up too. He is a warrior!!
God has kept you here because you have the love of God even though you go through things you still have a smile and POSITIVE ENERGY!! THANKS FOR SHARING 💜💜💜WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE SYMPTOMS IN ADULTS OR CHILDREN??
Praying for the manifestation of complete healing!!! 💙
Thank you for sharing your testimony1
