I have been through far more than the average dealing with Lupus from the age of 18 years old & now at the ripe old age of 46 I continue. Yes, I became worse and with that being said I was in a wheelchair and I knew that something had to change. I changed my diet and I did strength training with the help of my personal trainer. I have had numerous miscarriages and have had over 50 surgeries for joint replacements alone. My brain developed LUPUS 2 years ago. I have Pulmonary Fibrosis & suffer from kidney disease. I know what it is like to be depressed and to be in hospitals for periods of time. With the strength of my immediate family which is small this includes my close friends I pushed through. I love the obstacles that have been given to me because it made me the person I am today: STRONG. Yes, I may have CNS Lupus added on to SLE, but I will not surrender to this. I will keep on fighting. I am a person who loves HUMOR & will share it in my hospital bed...any nurse or doctor will tell you that. I love my life and I know that we as a nation will overcome this VIRUS. So, in nutshell as I have said before & continue to say...a pill isn't going to save you. Boosting you immune system will. It starts with YOU!!! Much love and blessings to all. & yes unfortunately I do know of those who have died from this horrific disease. Prayers to the families. #TeamHeather #wtelnnyc #knowlupus #endlupus #nolupus #lupusawareness #lupuswarrior #lupussucks #lupusambassador #motherwithlupus #endthemystery #covid19 #alkalinity #alkalineelectric #loveoneanother (at Valley Cottage, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cISEjlpZuNe7UmwYopQdqzwIThi7lucHOuj40/?igshid=18zdkr5j55jl1
