I am 22 years old and I was given the news 3 months ago that I have lupus. I not only have lupus but so does my mom. The past 3 months have been long, with doctor appointment after doctor appointment, lots of blood tests and questions. With me being so young and being diagnosed I am scared, but I am a strong women and I am not going to let this take me down. My doctors and nurses have been absolutely amazing. They have me on a couple new medications that have made me feel so much better.
