I've had lupus for years. It's an autoimmune disease that's quite common and unfortunately incurable. Your body is basically allergic to itself. It's painful and scary, but I'm doing well. I plan to not die from it. They diagnosed me when I was twenty-eight, and the life expectancy back then was three years. And I'm still here in my fifties. And I'm great. I have a great life. I can't complain about anything.
