I was diagnosed with SLE Systemic Lupus at age 18, I am 23 now, but it is a constant struggle for me to deal with this disease. I am constantly humiliated by people, and doctors, and I have to constantly proove to them that I am sick, and that I have a real problem. Lupus has taken my abilities from me, at times it is so painful that I wish I were dead. This is serious and it is my reality, yet doctors act like its a walk in the park. Why is cancer or lukiemia (cousin to Lupus) or other blood disorders taken so seriously, and Lupus is treated like its no big deal? I am sick of being treated like a second rate person, humiliated, discriminated against, due to societies ignorance on my painful life altering disease. Lupus is real it hurts, it changes lives, I think it is everyones responsibility to know what it is. It is amazing that if u ask any random person what Lupus is, they dont quite know, but they know someone who has it. Come on people look it up on the net. Inform yourself!
