Lacking Support
I was diagnosed February 2021.
My family doesn't understand
My family does not understand lupus and won't read about it. They think I complained about daily pain. They think something can be done. I tried to tell them the meds have not kicked in yet.
Understanding over sympathy
They get mad because I don't want to go places and that I need Why Sleep Is Important For People Living With Lupusnaps. I told them I don't want sympathy, I want understanding. My life has been turned upside down since my diagnosis.
Interested in sharing your own diagnosis story, treatment experience, or another aspect of living with lupus?
