May has become such a special month for me because I get to celebrate nurses week, my birthday, AND lupus awareness month all in one
-
As most of you know, I started 2019 learning my lupus had progressed to #lupusnephritis for the first time. It was a very scary and uncertain time for me, but long story short I actually had minimal side effects and responded well to treatment So well I’ve been told I’m in remission for the very first time since being diagnosed!!!
-
Lupus is such an unpredictable disease, and I admit it’s hard for me to not worry about how long this remission will last or when the next flare will happen... But looking back at this year, I’m so thankful to have been symptom free this entire time- to be able to work as an RN, go to the gym, and do daily activities without pain or fatigue this is the healthiest I’ve felt and I can only pray it lasts as long as possible!!!
-
Thank you everyone who’s been so supportive and thank you all for the birthday wishes!! Wow I don’t wanna be 28 LOL but I’m literally feeling the best I’ve ever felt so I can’t even complain

We're on the way to celebrate the life of my Grandmother Margaret "Retha" Greenleaf. It took every miracle in heaven to get both of us together. Thank God for our provider Ms. Yolanda for helping me on this morning! This journey is so hard and I don't do funerals... Been crying and breaking down and fixing make up all morning but thank God we were able to make it. RIH Grandmother. We love and miss you so much.

When you have an #autoimmunedisease like #lupus or #chronicfatiguesyndrome #fibromyalgia #rheumatoidarthritis #multiplesclerosis there is a huge disconnect between you and people around you because doesn’t matter how you communicate about your struggles with #chronicillness and #chronicpain there are always people who don’t understand what you are going through and, worse interpret it in a negative way that has nothing to do with the reality you are living in... Some even can call you a faker or attention seeker... But does it mean that you should shut down to protect yourself or should you allow yourself be vulnerable and express your feelings anyway? What do you think? P.S. I’d like to let you know that a reputable health company is giving away a FREE container of high quality premium protein and a FREE bottle of live potent probiotic. People who have impaired digestion, #fatigue #brainfog depression, #thyroid problems #autoimmune disease and low immunity often have protein deficiency due to poor nutrients digestion and malabsorption and impaired microbiome. This free high quality premium protein can provide nutrients that are often lacking in people with lupus and autoimmune disorders. And it provides 10-fold absorption. Free probiotic can help to strengthen the immune system and improve digestion. Both products can help to improve energy levels naturally and are truly free, no strings attached, worldwide shipping. You can get it via my website https://lupusselfhelp.com/free or just click the link in my instagram profile @lupusselfhelp <<<===click

Wir sind wieder da, auf Ganovenjagd
der Schrecken der Gauner, immer am Start
wir sind wieder da und liegen auf der Lauer
wir sind die Pfefferkörner
1, 2 Ganoven und Gangster
3, 4 Gauner und Verbrecher
5, 6 Räuber im Versteck
7, 8 wir jagen Tag und Nacht
Räuber und Gangster
Gauner und Verbrecher
wir sind da wo keiner sucht
wir schlagen die Ganoven in die Flucht!
Na wer kann’s noch mitsingen?

The evolution of my hair loss and regrowth
2009 —> 2015 —> 2017 —> 2019
Today I was inspired by @_indianrosee she reminded me that I was beautiful through every stage of this disease. I remember feeling negative about my appearance.. hair loss, weight gain, scars, rashes, flare, after flare, after flare. I remember not recognizing the girl I saw in the mirror and it took a lot of work to regain my confidence. This diagnosis has been bitter sweet because even though it’s a daily struggle, I love the person I am today because of lupus.

When I got diagnosed with Lupus six months ago, I made a decision to cancel all of my travel plans. My friend’s destination wedding in Jamaica-cancelled. A summer cruise-cancelled. My fall European tour - ALL Cancelled! & For someone who lives to travel, I was so devastated. I put it in my mind that traveling, especially to warm places, was out of the question for me. You see, some of us with Lupus experience extreme photosensitivity - meaning that too much exposure from the sun can make our symptoms worse!
I gave Lupus way too much power over me then. So I made a faith move and spontaneously booked a trip to California earlier this year. I can say I came, I saw, I conquered. The trip was sooo needed - and guess who was just okay upon coming back?! ♀️ #FaithMoves #LivingWithLupus #Join #Support #TeamTheresa #WalkToEndLupusNow #LinkInBio #DevelopingNoire

One of the most visible signs of battling Lupus is the way our body changes largely due to steroid (Prednisone) intake to control flares when our highly active immune system attacks our own healthy cells. From a lot of people not recognizing us to hearing insensitive remarks about our appearance, it takes a lot of grit to deal with society besides fighting our secret battles to simply survive. Sharing my BEFORE and AFTER Lupus face when I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis Class 4 (severe kidney damage) and pumped with endoxan (chemotherapy), high dosage steroids and many other drugs to control my joints flare up as well. I strongly believe that ACCEPTANCE OF OUR CONDITION AND THE SIDE EFFECTS OF TREATMENT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF HEALING PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY. OUR BODIES ARE SHAPESHIFTERS AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL HOW WE CHANGE TO LET OURSELVES HEAL. I further nominate my fellow Lupus butterflies @singhabhilesh @_abhi97_ @_soulmagic @vachasamrita @tejashwini.shyamsundar @_intheloop_ to share their stories and shake off all shame and insecurities associated with living with Lupus
