    • About Me

      I am a 26 year old female with severe Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus. I have one 9 year old son and a fantastic fiance. I was diagnosed in July 2004 after I started experiencing some severe joint pain and swelling. Since being diagnosed I have had a mini stroke due to CNS vasculitis due to SLE, diagnosed with lupus nephritis (which causes me severe edema), chronic cerebritis (brain inflammation)also due to SLE. I have chronic fatigue, joint pain and swelling and have technically been in a flare since original diagnosis almost 4 years ago. I was managing a medical ofc at the time and have had to quit the job that I loved so much.
