Antiphospholipid Antibodies
Lupus Facts: About 50 percent of people with lupus have antiphospholipid antibodies. Antiphospholipid antibodies interfere with the normal function of blood vessels and can lead to narrowing of the blood vessels or blood clots. These complications can lead to stroke, heart attack, and miscarriage.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! I know that this time of year can be hard for you as you battle lupus. You may have lost loved ones due to lupus issues and complications or you’re just getting through a difficult time or are still going through some rough times. It’s hard for me too, I understand what you’re going through! But, I feel so blessed to be able to reflect on the memories and cherish the love of my family and friends that are still present in my life. Today, don’t focus on your pain but on love. Sometimes we can focus so much on what’s missing, what’s hurting in this lupus fight and forget to see all that is good and all the love right in front of us. I suggest if you are feeling down today try giving some love away, first start with the person in the mirror, it’s a great spirit lifter and motivator. Be blessed, be encouraged and be a blessing! #GiveSomeLoveAway #LupusInColor
Be Gentle
Be gentle with yourself as you battle lupus. You’re trying and if it takes you longer than you thought to achieve something or get somewhere that’s okay. Don’t compare yourself to others or who you were before lupus, because not everyone gets to where they need to be right away. You’re alive that’s what matters. Keep trying, keep fighting, because so far you’ve beaten lupus 100% up until this living day. #LupusInColor

EffUCeeKay Lupus
I could complain about what lupus does to me, but what will that solve? I’ll say this though… Lupus you summummabish, I can’t wait until you rot in hell! You sick twisted bastard! Kick rocks barefoot and kiss my cocoa brown ass as I get up when you try and knock me out. You hit like a bitch and I’m shaking that crap off and continuing to live. EFF-U-CEE-KAY You Lupus! That is all. I think that was more productive than woe is me. I feel so free! *Flinging the mic across the room* … mumbling dis bitch gonna have me choke her out…. #LupusInColor
Purpose In Change
Once you are diagnosed with lupus your life will change. It doesn’t mean it changes for the worse, but it will just change. Things that used to mean so much, will be replaced with things that you need to survive. People that used to take up so much of your time with nonsense, will be replaced with people that work to give your life meaning. The simple things in life will become the best things you’ve ever seen and life as you know it will be filled with special moments in pain that become the best times in your life to grow stronger. Life after a Lupus diagnosis will change, but it doesn’t mean it changes for the worse. Make it your duty to take every moment for what it is. Get up after you’re knocked down, wipe yourself off and begin again. You have changed and it’s okay. Your life still has meaning and purpose in your change. #LupusInColor

Deliberate Self Care
As you battle lupus you can hit some serious emotional ups and downs. You have to deliberately invest in some form of self-care and make sure it’s something that you know will help your mood. Also, remember that tomorrow is another day. #LupusInColor
