Some have asked me how Lupus has affected my life. The following is just a typical day in my life.
When I wake up in the morning, I’m already exhausted. My mouth and eyes are bone dry, but I make sure to thank God for my life. As I walk to the bathroom to clean my face, every joint and muscle ache but I push through. For the last two weeks, as part of my daily routine, I’ve had to deal with nose ulcers – sorry if that sounds disgusting to you, but imagine if it were actually happening to you. I just swab the vaseline in there and push through.
