I followed everything the doctors told me, took every medication prescribed, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I eat right and exercise and here I am 1 point off of Stage 5. I believe my treatment was delayed by about a year due to the failed original renal biopsy. I don’t like this at all and sadly I’m losing hope.I hate Lupus it’s ruined everything.
