Stay positive and keep stress to a minimum

I got Lupus at 68 now 3yrs. I was fortunate to have Drs who diagnose quickly. Im taking a infusion every 28 days Saphnelo. It works great but you still get flareups. . Im tierd of blood work every 10 weeks and Drs and tests. I don't drink alcohol and never smoked. But my faith is very strong. You have to find a purpose in life. This disease is real. And no one else understands it unless they have it. Joint pain and I exercise daily eat healthy. Nothing takes Lupus flares away.
