Long Term Lupus

I have had lupus since I was two years old. I am 62 now. When I was younger I used herbs and essential oils. Now, the older I get, the worse it is. I now do both medications, herbs, essential oils, acupuncture, yoga and aqua fit.

I lost weight, and not just a little but 210 pounds! It has helped me. I eat healthy now, and it has helped. They tell us with lupus, we should eat gluten-free and dairy-free, so I do. I also eat fruits and veggies, salads, fish, chicken, and turkey. I don't drink diet soda. I only drink zero sugar tea, lemon aid, and more water.

I still get sick, but I get through it more easily. I am engaged to a wonderful man who is from turkey and has lived here for over 20 years. We are apart right now, due to the fact that he was deported. He has a new visa but has to pay a large hotel bill before he can come home. The owner of the hotel first told him he could pay when he got home, but then they changed their mind and insisted he pay half of it now. Please pray he gets his tax refund in less than 21 days. He has a bank account, but his bank won't let him in it due to being out of the states, and he lost his debit card. This is my life.
