What have you learned?

What is something you have learned on your lupus journey? What have you learned about yourself, about the community, or about lupus in general?

  1. You may be walking alone and actually I was abandon when I got sick everyone left me and support groups are my family and friends whom I use for help. My own mom actually thinks I made it up researched it to use it for an excuse convenient she said.

    1. , Uhg my heart is breaking for you as I read your comment. I'm so sorry you have been mistreated and not believed by the people who should be there supporting you and lifting you up. Please know that support groups like ours are always here to listen. No one deserves to feel alone in this battle! Sending gentle hugs,
