The thing that makes any illness worse, is when people treat you like you are lying, lazy, or selfish because you don't LOOK sick or handicapped.

My good friend has just been diagnosed today. She’s been fighting for over a year and a half to find out what was wrong with her. I watched her deteriorate and our boss treats her like she’s lying about her symptoms. I am crying for my friend. She’s gone through so much and I just love her so much.

I’m in the process of being diagnosed with Lupus. All of my tests come back normal but I feel far from normal. I just seen a rheumatologist who believes I have lupus without a doubt and are being tested for it now. Reading these comments and watching this video makes me feel like I’m not alone and it’s all in my head. 🥹🫶🏾💖🌺🐝 God bless everyone whose suffering from Lupus, this disease is a silent hell show and I’m so sorry for anyone going through this 🥺😔

My mom passed away to this when I was a baby. I never knew her, and my father never talked about her. I pray for all the people with this, may God love you and keep you safe.

I haven’t been diagnosed yet but when I watched this I felt like all those people understood me and my struggle for the past 25 years

I was diagnosed with Lupus since 2009 right before my last semester. Unfortunately, I was not able to take my last finance major because I had a seizure the day before.

I remember I ended up on the floor surrounded by paramedics and my family. I had since suffered so much after - in and out of hospitals, doctors appointments, missed major events, had to quit my job because I was taking leave most of the time due to my lupus flare.

As I typed this comment, my kidney function is currently at Stage 4 and I've been crying almost everyday but trying my best to do whats best for my body, mind and soul. I dont want my kidneys to fail or be on dialysis or even need a transplant.

This scares me so much and it pains me to know that it can ultimately/drastically change the course of my life forever. Its scary to think Lupus can cause serious issues with your internal organs.

Best of luck to anyone suffering the same as well. I only pray that you get better ans have a good support from your family and friends because they do make it easier for you even though you are going through a tough time. ❤

My mom had lupus when I was a kid still has it. Ive seen how it changed her life, how she lost hair and using a wig, how she cant go out in the sun unless its cloudy or she wears clothes that cover her arms and legs. Ive seen the many surgeries and treatments shes has been through. I also seen it impact her fight it as best as she can.

I got diagnosed today, after years of wondering why I was sicker than people around me. I finally have an answer.

I was just diagnosed and am looking for more information so I checked this video out. No offense, but it was not helpful at all. It’s just a bunch of people saying analogies for things without actually explaining why it affects them or what it does. I could use some more insight.

I also made a girl who had lupus today she was so kind and beautiful always support these people to give them hope for a better tomorrow

My little sister’s best friend just got diagnosed with Lupus and she is only 9. I want to be able to support her in the future and educate myself with this disease.

My neighbor has lupus, she wanted a baby so badly and she couldnt have one. Broke my heart for her.

As a person newly diagnosed with lupus I want to tell you how deeply horrifying and unhelpful this video was I am having palpitations and my anxiety is through the roof. Thanx

I have been suffering from lupus since I was 9 years old and now I am 22. Every now and then I search for the disease and it seems that there is now awareness about it..

[kaytinamanatee]

I'm in the process of trying to narrow down an autoimmune issue and it's most likely lupus.... I am so very heartbroken for all these brave fighters that fell the pain, inside and out, but strive to keep going. Stay strong. And thank you for sharing your vulnerability and truth!

Thank You for the video! I have a lupus diagnosed in 2018. This video makes me feel better because of understanding that I’m not alone!
