The unpredictability of Lupus worried me more&nbsp;than anything.

You\u2019re easily&nbsp;exhausted. Everything aches. In my case, as time has gone on, I have&nbsp;learned how to tolerate the muscle aches and can usually keep going&nbsp;through the day\/motions will the help of a nap and not having a ton of&nbsp;errands or activities planned.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><b>How does lupus affect your day to day life?<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">The first months after being diagnosed, I struggled with the bare minimum.&nbsp;Once easy tasks like showering, doing my hair, carrying the laundry basket&nbsp;now left me winded. As time has passed, and with the help of medication, I&nbsp;am able to do things similar to how I did before diagnosis. There are still&nbsp;some days where it takes everything out of me, but I have mostly adjusted&nbsp;and am able to continue to go about life normally. The only major factors&nbsp;that I deal with is sensitivity to weather changes&#8211; cold\/ and or rain leaves&nbsp;me sore and achy, and photo-sensitivity to the sun.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><b>What is your experience with lupus treatments?<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Compared to others with Lupus, my treatments are on the less extreme&nbsp;side and only included prescribed medication. Steroids such as prednisone,&nbsp;immunosuppressants such as CellCept, diuretics and blood pressure&nbsp;medicines were all I\u2019ve had to deal with for the majority of my diagnosis. I&nbsp;have only been hospitalized once, and it was due to my body starting to&nbsp;reject the high doses of medicine. Aside from that, however, I have done&nbsp;well with my prescribed medications and have since been able to be&nbsp;lowered on doses all around.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\"><b>Do you have any other details about lupus to add?<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I would like to make it known that no two people with Lupus experience it&nbsp;the same way. There is also not one test to take that will tell you if you have&nbsp;Lupus. It\u2019s mostly done through blood work, and sometimes the levels don\u2019t&nbsp;register and sometimes, Lupus can mimic other illnesses.&nbsp;Also, Lupus does not discriminate. While women of color, especially in&nbsp;child-bearing ages, are more likely to be diagnosed, that does not mean&nbsp;that only women of color get Lupus.&nbsp;Lupus is also known to be hereditary but was not the case with myself, as I<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">am the only one in my family with Lupus, and it seems that the other people&nbsp;I have come across with Lupus, say they too are the only ones in their&nbsp;families.
