I have been diagnosed with Lupus for over 12 years. I went through three years of not knowing what was wrong with me as Lupus has likes to mimic so many other deceases. It was a very trying time for me and felt so out of control. Little did I know about three years later, I would find out I have Lupus. Boy did I have mixed feelings! First I was thrilled that it was not all in my head and second....what is Lupus? I ran home...pulled out a very old medical dictionary and read horrible paragraphs about my fate. Needless to say that this book was indeed very old leaving me with a very grim outlook. I knew that I had to find other resources to help me learn as much about this decease as possible...if I was going to fight this.
