I want to share to the world, my private and public selfie pictures. This is a face of someone who is diagnosed with Lupus. This is Lupus Awareness Month!! I probably had lupus from the time I was a child and I didn’t know. I would have huge ulcers in my mouth, I bleed blood in my urine and had many many test, the doctors couldn’t find anything.
Later my eyes will swell, my face, then my throat started to tightening.
From there, everyday I felt as though I was dying. I even imagined my own funeral and told my mom to bury me in my favorite red dress. My mom didn’t wanted to hear this but I was ready to die.
One day @colourcodedmakeup saw me and told me to go and check out that rash on my eye to find out it was a ring worm but then we did more test to find out I have Lupus.
Since then, my life have turned around. I learned I have to eat differently, avoid the afternoon sun, do not stressed out yourself. I have to do soft exercises like yoga and swimming. I saw how my body was swollen and transformed to who I am today. I gained weight , now I lost a lot of weight.
I remembered I announced to the world last year that I have lupus...and it’s ok. I don’t feel like I am dying anymore, I actually feel alive.
To be honest...my body attacks me everyday, I get joint pains, brain fog, short term memories, headaches, throat still tighten but I am 80 percent much better than those years of not knowing.
Let’s celebrate those who have chronic illnesses, The warriors and say cheers for being you! Clap your hand for us because getting up from bed is also a big task.
So again, this is a face of someone who has lupus, chronic illness and could be considered as disability as well.
Let’s remember and say cheers to Lupus Awareness Month!💜💜💜💜💜
By the way, the color purple represent Lupus, so in the next photo, I am represent Lupus Warriors! Cheers!
Thank you to the doctors, family, friends, supporters and everyone who were always cheering me on!
