Imagine being a teenager, grappling with the tumultuous phase of adolescence, only to be diagnosed with a life-altering autoimmune disease, Lupus. That was my reality at 16, and I'm peeling back the layers of this personal journey for you, sharing my experience with mysterious symptoms, the lengthy diagnosis process, and the emotional upheaval that came with it. I hope this episode serves as a point of connection for those who are experiencing a similar path.

In this episode: 

·      My journey through mysterious symptoms 

·      The early days of Lupus

·      Lupus Nephritis

·      Navigating high school with chronic illness

·      Why I no longer say ‘I have Lupus’

This episode is a special one as I don’t often share the specific of my diagnosis these days. While I aim to focus on the healing process, I do believe it is important to connect with my readers on where it all began. If you’re experiencing a diagnosis, know that ultimately, it’s a part of the healing journey and that you’re not alone.
