My Journey Started With A Butterfly Rash

My story started two years ago. My mother has always said I have Lupus because of the Butterfly rash across my cheeks and nose. I'm almost always fatigued and was having constant headaches... My bloodwork was always all over the chart's. My internal medicine doctor referred me to a rheumatologist, along with all the swelling I have. Being overweight doesn't help it either. My journey still continues because each day is a learning curve. So I gave you all an abbreviated version on my story. I want to continue to learn more through everyone else's story.
