I was diagnosed here in the UK with Lupus of the skin and joints 9 weeks ago, suspected by GP weeks before in SA. It's been a nightmare trying to get treatment, because I'm allergic to sulphur and what's been prescribed to me has this. (Quinoric. Hydroxychloroquine Sulphate). My brother suggested I keep a journal, not only as an account of the different tests and GP visits, but also as a means of release from the frustrations all this causes. I thought it a good idea, because I've always found release and strength in writing.
So much has changed in the last 7 months, too much I think at times, but I'm here and I'm surviving, through the highs and lows. I thank God for my blessings daily. My faith, and the support of my family and close friends is what gets me through. One thing this has taught me is who my true friends are, it's also shown me the importance of positiveness, and "living" life.
