Before and after Lupus gal, you are still beautiful. Who said there's anything wrong with chunkier? You ARE adorable and eff lupus. Don't let it take how you feel about your appearance, too. It takes so much else from us, we will not let it take that, too!

@Chixwifstix I just saw this comment also. Thank you so much. You are right. :)

I'm so tired of people chiming in with the gluten allergy thing or "natural cures." Lupus is a potentially FATAL disease and what you people don't understand is that if we don't take the toxic treatments we can potentially DIE. We don't have the luxury of experimenting and trying to go gluten free for months to years while we wait for the gluten to completely leave the body, which is what it takes to achieve healing naturally. We don't have the luxury of WAITING FOR OUR BODIES TO HEAL.

@Chixwifstix I completely agree. but people have their opinions so i just let them say what they think and i will think what i think. thank you for commented :) God BLess you :)

I have lupus as well... I have gained 60 lbs. do to prednisone and other meds... The moon face is thee most difficult change in my opinion to deal with... people dont understand what its like not to recognize yourself anymore... I was sad a long time... Until I woke up one morning and decided no matter what... I am Beautiful... its up to people to look a lil harder and I am amazed at who now says ... you look so much better whats different!! on word ...TUDE! Your adroable! Thanks for the post

@Chixwifstix I love this response and so agree!!!! Our looks are such a minor part of it, although a lot of people, that's all they will see or know. :( but I think of it as their loss. hugs to you both! Jacki

@redwolf407 CAN"T YOU READ?? the song information is right below the video on the right!

[Imlegallyretarded]

It's odd I have SLE but I never put on any weight I actually lost 70 pounds. But I was never put on glucocorticoids. My worst symptom was the light sensetivity. I would go outside and get all burned up when I usually never had problems with sunburn. I do have some damage to my stomach lining though. I was just curious of why u gained weight and I lost. Mine was pretty bad but they didn't give me steroids for it I had to take immune suppressants which sucked!

@msgracielou987 "Letting your body heal itself"? This isn't the stone ages anymore. The truly sad part is that you're probably not joking. Do you know what an auto-immune disorder is? YOUR body's immune system is attacking YOU.

I had to deal with incessant pestering like this when I was waiting for my liver transplant; 'well i u drink sum special tea I have, u will totally b cured! My sister was dating this guy who knew someone who's mother's boyfriend was totally cured by it!
