Hey guys!!! If you do not already know, Systemic Lupus Erythmatosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects the major organs of the body, most commonly the skin, kidneys, lungs, and joints. To give you all the quick version of my story, I was diagnosed my freshman year of college in March of 2003. My symptoms began with joint pain and rashes that covered my entire body. At first I passed my symptoms off as stress and assumed they were due to my new environment. However, as I continued to ignore the symptoms they became more debilitating. I finally realized something was seriously wrong after I was unable to walk up stairs because the pain was so excruciating. After numerous doctor appointments and tests, my symptoms were finally pinpointed to lupus. I also found out that the lupus had caused a significant amount of damage to my kidneys. I began a strict regimen of corticosteriods and immunosuppressants. My current health has been excellent and I can happily say that I have not had a flare up in over 2 years.
There currently is no cure for lupus. However, with the money you donate you will be contributing to finding the cause and a possible cure for lupus. :-)
