Scared Since Childhood
I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 9. I am 36 now. The doctors had never seen a case in someone so young. I was put on the medical books.
Heartache and life scares
Lupus has caused so much heartache and life scares. It had caused a hole in one the valves in my heart. I have had several strokes, in both sides of my brain, and had to have a major blood transfusion because I lost about 90% of the blood in my body.
