You're in a secret battle with your body, where every day is a struggle to find the strength to get out of bed, to push through the pain and to overcome the fatigue. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #chronicillness

These are myths that I've heard many times, it shows how misinformed people are about chronic illness. #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #chronicillness #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #rarevisibility

This is really true, we live in a competitive society where your 'worth' is measured by how much you earn or how big a car you have & where illness is seen as a weakness & 'our fault' despite the fact we did nothing to cause it. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness

Even after all these years and all the flares I still always think 'oh this is how my body is now, I have to learn to live with it,' then weeks pass by and things calm down until I start the whole process again. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #lupusflare #chronicillness

My rheumatologist said that I looked pale - well yes of course I do, I stay out of the sun! I also wear factor 50 sunscreen whether it's sunny or not, partly for lupus but I admit also partly to prevent wrinkles. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #chronicillness

Everyday you are a chronic illness warrior, fighting battles that most people can't even imagine. You wake up each morning despite the exhaustion, the pain & the uncertainty you keep going, pushing through the struggles to find moments of joy and beauty in the midst of the chaos.

Lupus is often misdiagnosed, the average time from first symptoms to diagnosis is 6 years which is appalling. 30 years ago I was misdiagnosed for 4 years with GP's telling me it was all in my head, so things sadly haven't improved at all since then #lupus

I'm that person who's extremely sensitive to medication & I always seem to experience some kind of side effect, no matter how mild the drug may be. As a result, I have to carefully weigh the pros and cons of taking any medication. #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness #sideeffects

People don't realise that the cost of chronic illness isn't just physical it goes way beyond that. #chronicpain #autominnunedisease #invisibleillness #chronicillness #lupus #lupustrust #lupusawareness

Most of us are guilty of hiding the true extent of our illness, not wanting to be a burden to others or be seen as weak. We don't want to worry our loved ones, so we put on a happy face & pretend everything is okay. #lupus #lupustrust #chronicillness
