I'm not too familiar with the disease but try to stay positive and I hope you can beat it!!!

I am sorry for your bad news Heather.. While Lupus is a serious disease it is treatable and you can keep it under control.. My best friend in the whole world developed Lupus 2 years ago and it got so bad that she was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks.. but she recovered and she takes medication for it and it's under control.. You have to just keep your stress levels down, which I know is easier said than done, but you will be fine!! Stay Strong Sweetie... We are here for you!!!

Im so sorry sweetie !!
