These are all things we try to explain to others but they often just don't understand. 🫤

A sadly accurate description. As you get older more aches and pains come along so I can't remember when I last had a completely pain free day, something others take for granted.

This is really accurate, of course we'd like a cure but 'manageable' would be great. At least then we'd be able to do more, plan things in advance and have some sort of 'normal' life.

The fact that we know we are going to pay later for any activity we decide to do is a really sad state of affairs, most people have no idea what that's like. We're constantly asking ourselves 'is it worth doing it'?

The Lupus Trust is funding a study looking at how menopause and HRT affect women with lupus. It is being led by Melanie Sloan at Cambridge University. The team are looking to recruit a researcher to help with this study, either full time or part time:

Although lupus is a treatable disease, there's no '1 size fits all' when it comes to medication. You may have to try various medications in various combinations and various doses until you find something that works for you.

Other people have no idea just how accurate this is. We plaster on a smile and tell them 'we're fine'. 🫤

One of the most frustrating things about lupus is that no matter how much sleep you manage to get you still feel exhausted.

As I'm always saying, you can't pour from an empty glass. You need to take care of yourself first, otherwise you'll be no good to anyone else. 🫤

This is really accurate, especially 'trying to keep up with healthy people'. 🫤

When you get diagnosed with chronic illness it often means that some/all of the plans you had will have to change. Some you don't mind so much but others cause us a feeling of significant loss.

This is very true, we often think we should be stoic & 'brave' but that's an impossible task for anyone to carry out 24/7.

I thought this statement was very good, especially 'the usual' as for people with chronic illness 'the usual' is normally pain
