Lupus
I have been diagnosed with RA/Raynauds, and Lupus just recently. I'm not sure how I can deal with more. I can barely keep up. My husband has spinal cord injury n paralysis in one leg. I use to be able to keep up but it takes all I have to keep going n now this Lupus diagnosis. Any advice?

It sounds like you have a lot going on.
Being a caregiver while dealing with your own health issues can be incredibly challenging. Adding another diagnosis to the mix can be downright overwhelming.
Please know you are not alone. Many in this community can relate to your sentiments (juggling multiple chronic conditions as well as family members' health issues.) I'm hoping some will chime in here with some helpful advice.
In the meantime, I'm sharing this article that you may find insightful: https://lupus.net/living/patient-becomes-caregiver.
Most importantly, take it one day at a time.
Always know we're here for help and support.
My best, Doreen (Team Member)
