What happen?
My last 2 consecutive checkups with my doctor were great and okay. I forgot the fact that I have Lupus. I enjoyed life without reminding myself of the dos and donts of the disease. Stress, sunlight, not getting enough sleep triggered my lupus. And now I realized that even though you are in remission stage of lupus, never ever forget to do what is right and what is good for your health for lupus can attack you when you least expect it.
Fighting and praying! :)
Love you all dear lupies. 💕
