Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys and brain. Normally the body's immune system makes proteins called antibodies that protect the body against viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders.

I totally understand what you're going through.. I was in that same boat when i started getting symptoms @ 17... I think educating them about the disease and the symptoms will help them understand a little bit more... And showing them that there are others that go through the same things as you will show that its not you, its lupus

It worked for my family, friends and job... Always have to re-explain it every once in a while though..

I'm 20 and my family cant understand whats happening to me. I wake up and I'm tired. I just want to go back to bed. I'm always in pain and I'm tired. I'm starting to get red in my face and I'm losing all my hair. I'm so scared that one night when I go to bed I wont wake up. My family doesn't understand. They all call me lazy and tell me its not as bad as I'm making it to be. I'm tired of always hurting. I'm tired of being scared. I'm tired of dealing with this alone.

@THINKING301 Can you please tell me your symptoms? I think I may have lupus but the internet isn't much good to thoroughly give the symptoms in detail..You can PM me if you feel it is private :\ I'm just really scared.
