Shared Paths: A Conversation with Linda

Welcome to this special conversation on our shared paths with my guest Linda. The systemic nature of Lupus makes our journeys common yet so unique. Be inspired by this remarkable story of perseverance and advocacy.

A brave warrior in the battle against lupus opens up about her tumultuous journey to a correct diagnosis after numerous misdiagnoses, including malaria. She shares the complexities of living with lupus, with very shifty symptoms, from debilitating migraines to the perilous brain fog in daily life. Ever heard of dry eye syndrome? Well, it's a lesser-known but equally challenging symptom of lupus that we learn about here.

In an honest recount of her medication regimen, Linda talks about the intricacies of managing lupus with immunomodulators, immunosuppressants, and anti-inflammatory agents. These medications are her allies in the fight for normalcy, each playing a crucial role in keeping her symptoms at bay.

As a mother, Linda shares the emotional upheaval of having to disclose her ailment to her child. She highlights the importance of a supportive family, crediting them as the cornerstone of her strength throughout this journey.

In our conversation, Linda calls upon society to bolster lupus awareness through research and encourages medical professionals to stay abreast with the latest findings. Her story is one of courage, hope, and the unyielding support of loved ones.
