Just diagnosed today… all I’m finding is women who have it and their experiences. We need more men speaking out.

Thanks for getting up here Andre I’m also a man with Lupus and I’m 35 now. I was recently diagnosed about 2 years ago after finishing stage 4 cancer treatment. My pain level was horrible after treatment and during chemo I had learned I had APS so I saw a rheumatologist and got my diagnosis. Unfortunately within 6 months I started having seizures too. I’m one of the lucky ones with gout and many many other associated diseases.

I know how hard it is to find others to talk to within the community that are men too. It can be a tough thing to go through.
