LUPUS IS...

The name of my illness

The reason I've gained weight

Why I see a Rheumatologist

What people cant necessarily see

The reason I take lots of medication

The beginning, middle and end of my day

All I seem to talk about

What I try to hide at work

What causes my headaches

Active all too often

What distrupts my sleep

What makes me depressed

Upsetting for my friends and family

An inconvienience

Never highlighted in the media

What makes me feel weak

The cause of my chest pain

Why I have anxiety

What has taken my confidence

Why I sometimes snap

Why I appreciate the small things

Why I'm greatful for good days

Painfull

Reliant on funding and support

Continually being researched

Supported by millions worldwide

 

What my loved ones pray for

Hoping to find a cure
