Living with lupus is not easy. Lupus is not a disease of a day or a week. It is a chronic disease with which we have to live the rest of our lives to not be discovered before the cure (something that seems closer every time). Years living with different symptoms, such as pain, fatigue, exhaustion, and different medical problems that are emerging. Anything that being good is simple to make, with pain or exhaustion is hard, that life is more complicated if you suffer from lupus. There are better times in which the disease gives us a breather and times worse in the that, due to an outbreak or worsening of the disease symptoms can be very disabling. You can still be happy. You have to learn to enjoy the small things in life. Don't look at what you can't do that when you have lupus, but in all the things that you can keep doing and learn to enjoy them. Choose the path that you would like to go and be happy by wading into it. No matter the destination, matters savoring every moment of the trip. In life we play a few cards that we can not choose, but we can learn how to play with them. With the best hand of poker you can lose the game and with the worst cards you can win. With the worst of circumstances you can get to be happy and with the best circumstances you can be unhappy. Don't expect to be best for you to start to enjoy or to be happy. Perhaps in a few months or years when you're worse and you would give anything to be as you are today. So enjoy the day even if you aren't feeling at all well, enjoy it, grab it and savor every moment that gives you life. That day will be passed and will not return. Only us will be the memories of the best moments lived. Find your passion, the reason you're here. Generally helping other people is one of the most rewarding things of life. Help them overcome difficult times or to make them more bearable the way, as we'd like to help us. To share joys and sorrows with other people also boosts happiness. The good things shared are the double of good. The bad things shared are half bad.

It can & has been very difficult to live with lupus. I have experienced depression & isolation through this disease. I have felt frustrated at the loss of my independence and freedom. I have found counselling, therapeutic yoga and pain management support groups to be effective in returning me to happiness. The support & understanding of my family is probably the most critical component to my happiness. Also fighting through isolation, reaching out to others & learning how to self manage chronic pain is crucial for happiness.

You can be happy. Disease management and proactivity is key. Take all meds, go to all appointments and follow your doctor's advice. Recognize depression symptoms if disease is active and seek help.

Try to do and find things that bring you joy. Find an outlet for feelings and emotions. Keep a journal. Try to prevent flares if possible.

Do what the doctors tell you to do, find what medication works for you, keep ypur mind occupied with positive things and laugh as much as you can and refuse to let the disease consume your life.

Oh you know about our disease, educate ourselves and educate those around us. Accept us and care for us.
The support of our families and loved ones is vital. But above all the love of their own.

Ok that one has a disease to stop seeing it as a limit, understand that it is a challenge, which is part of one and not hate what is of one. Smile as much as possible and especially to avoid the stress.

With lupus, not living it is surviving, but leading a quiet life, with certain routines, being in a group for example of the Face or in associations, surrounding you with positive people, you can be happy especially if you know that you are not alone in the struggle, commenting on what happens to you with people who like you have lupus.

of course you can be happy, what is important is to have the unconditional support of the family, in addition to have a healthy mind, if it is necessary to go to a psychologist there you go not save anything, and if there are to laugh or to cry do it.

Yes! We can be very happy with Lupus!! We can take advantage of this situation to make a self - knowledge, discover the moments that Lupus is triggered in the body, what the reasons, knowing these reasons will give us the security to deal with this reality. Work these reasons internally to learn how to deal with them. My opinion is that the Lupus is used for a self-profound knowledge, the more vc you know your body, your limitations, your true emotions away from the lupus of your life!
