Unless you personally know someone with Lupus, you can't understand the full impact this disease has on a persons life and their family. Many marriages/relationships are ruined because of the constant sickness and daily struggle that Lupus demands. Many people can no longer work, lose their jobs and have no income. People are fighting time after time to have their disability approved. Meanwhile their lives are devastated. This disease is so unpredictable, it's almost impossible to plan anything, or to have a normal life. Symptoms change from one day to the next. Some days are better than others. One thing is for sure. It's constant and it affects every single person differently. It can be difficult to diagnose, and almost always just takes one doctor that really listens. Until a patient finds that doctor, many are told "this is all in your head". The emotional and physical suffering that is associated with Lupus is severe. Please help us! We desperately need awareness and education for medical professionals and families. We need a cure for this disease that affects millions of lives. Thank you.  Sincerely, Amy McArthur aka "Amz"  ~ and all my  LupusWarriors

My daughter was a vibrant, healthy outgoing, young mother who was full of life. At age 23 she was diagnosed with Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have watched Lupus take away her very existence. Every single day is a struggle for her. A cure cannot come soon enough.

Lupus stole my career and my social life. doctors act like they know but they really have no clue how much this ruins your daily life.

Living with this for 12 years now. tired of hearing that it doesn't look like anything is wrong with me just because I don't look sick on the outside. people have no idea.
