Erin

My name is Erin. I am 23 years old and was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 14.
I cannot remember a time when I did not have lupus.

Lupus affects every facet of my life and it will continue to affect my future. Living with lupus is challenging because it causes pain and stiffness in my joints, and extreme fatigue.

It carries an ever looming stress that if I do not do everything just right I will have a flare, which will leave me helpless and bed ridden for days or possibly weeks.
