Thank you, @EricG1247
From one Lupus Warrior to another, I appreciate this with all my heart. Thank you for your support & for bringing awareness to Lupus. People still ask me, "How can you have Lupus, isn't that a woman's disease?" 5-10% of the 1.5M in America w/Lupus are men!https://twitter.com/EricG1247/status/1314714134123024384 …

I'm truly in awe of your honesty. It means so much to me as someone who suffers from Lupus. People just don't understand how even something like getting up from bed is draining. How you can't commit to events because your body might be in pain. It can be so isolating.
It truly is, for the longest time I didn't like doing things because of my physical limitations. I look perfectly healthy on the outside but that isn't the case on the inside. I've become numb to the stares when I need to use my cane, scooter or handicap parking.

I understand this all too well. I just want you to know you are NEVER alone, I will always be here for you, my Lupus brother. I'm so PROUD to know you, Eric.

Thank you both for sharing this. It took me almost five years to get diagnosed. It's been over 20 years and only my husband truly understands.
