Kathia C. - Diagnosed at age 13

I was diagnosed at the age of 13 years and now I am 36 years old. At the beginning my symptoms were fever, loss hair, lupus nephritis, malar erythema and mouth ulcers. It was very difficult for me because as a result of the medication I was diagnosed with femoral head wear. I was living fighting with lupus every day, and those days when the wolf intended to control my body I remember that we can never underestimate the strength of a lupus warrior.

Recently my wolf woke up manifesting on my face with malar erythema and we are trying to control with corticosteroids.

I live my days with hope and so much love from my family, that is really supporting me. Also being part of this community on Instagram is a great hope and strength.
