Sometimes lupus life overwhelms me and every fear, anxiety, frustration, anger, pain and sadness pours out of my eyes, flooding my cheeks. I’m content not knowing why I cried. Maybe my body felt too much and it decided to weep on my behalf.

I’m honored to share a guest article written by Emily who has lupus. She authors a blog which she credits as being her “online diary of life with a chronic illness”.

I want to share some happy lupus blog news with you and I promise to explain my reason why at the end of my article. (No cheating and scrolling to the end.)
