I was diagnosed 25 yrs. ago. I had many odd illness that couldn't be diagnosed when I was small. Now it all makes sense. I was so desperately sick after giving birth to my children and still they didn't know what was wrong. Stress is what through me into a lupus flair when I was finally diagnosed. I was in bed for months. Later, I had a job then which nearly killed me and now it's very dangerous for me to over do. I have lung disease, 2 lung surgeries, heart problems all caused from lupus.

I was diagnosed with Lupus in 1999 at the age of 20, and I don't have anyone to talk to about it, well no one that understands what I go through on a daily basis. The video and even some of the comments bring me to tears because I feel all of your pain. It's scary not knowing what the future holds.

I was diagnosed with lupus one year ago, and I suffer occasionally with sore ankles and hands.... Prednisone was a miracle - but I was on it for nearly a year. I've been on Plaquenil for more than 6 months and my pain occurs daily now. I've also now been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. That pain sucks! Although this is all a burden and interferes with my daily life - I thought this video was very dooming and scary..... Almost makes me worry even more!
