Lupus will not stop me

It's really quite fascinating that after having being diagnosed with SLE for nine years that I decided to share some of my victories and defeats.

First, I've developed and mastered the art of acting (like I'm well). It is so draining to pretend that you feel good so that you don't burden your family with having to constantly be reminded that you are not 100%; of course if I had a broken leg it would be obvious that I'm handicapped.

Lupus is hard to identify...visually.
