MY STORY
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUPUS THROUGH THE PREGNACY OF MY DAUGHTER. AFTER BATTLING MULTIPLE LIFE-THREATNING EXPERIENCES, I DECIDED TO LIVE A LIFE OF DETERMINATION TO DEFEAT LUPUS!
I am Monic, and I started Lupus911 after triumphing over two decades of living with two types of lupus: SLE and Discoid. Along the way, I’ve learned to face lupus head-on and not allow this disease to defeat me through my willpower of not giving up.
Lupus is an unpredictable and misunderstood disease that damages different parts of the body. Lupus is not only difficult to diagnose and hard to live with, but it can be challenging to treat and, in some cases, can be fatal. That’s why Lupus911 want to increase the awareness of lupus by educating the public about the seriousness of the disease and to improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus.
When I was expecting my daughter, life threw me a real curveball: lupus. It was like, “Seriously? Now?” But you know what? I refused to let it knock me down. Even when things got super tough and I was staring down the barrel of life-threatening situations, I didn’t back down. Nope, I dug in my heels and fought back.
Hey there, I’m Monic, and let me tell you, I’ve been through the wringer with lupus—both SLE and Discoid. It’s been a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs. But through all the mess, I’ve learned something important: you gotta keep on keeping on.
Lupus is a real pain in the butt. It messes with your body and your mind, and sometimes it feels like you’re fighting a losing battle. But you know what? We’re not giving up. Not on my watch.
That’s why I started Lupus911. We’re all about spreading the word about lupus, helping folks understand what it’s all about, and giving support to anyone dealing with it. Because nobody should have to go through this crap alone.
So, let’s stick together, yeah? Let’s show lupus who’s boss. We might be in for a tough ride, but with a little bit of grit and a whole lot of heart, we can kick lupus to the curb.
