I used to be on lively obligation within the Navy once I was identified with SLE again in 2010. I had simply found the profession I had been looking for and was on the quick observe of promotions, getting ready a request to change into a Commissioned Naval Officer once I abruptly change into severely sick. I used to be at my highest level in life having fun with each second when all of it got here crashing down. A easy day on the seaside with mates resulted in a visit to the ER, a 7 day keep within the hospital, a number of prolonged stays on the hospital and a analysis of systematic lupus erythematous at solely 23 years, solely at barely 2 years into my profession. Over the following 3 years lupus robbed me of my profession, my journey goals, relationships, friendships, and motherhood.
Nicely at the least that is what I assumed.
Right this moment, I’m a spouse and mom thriving in my profession, a enterprise proprietor and surrounded by superb nourishing relationships filled with help.
Lupus got here to steal, kill and destroy however this warrior is just not taking place and not using a struggle, so on daily basis I wake I’m decided to beat lupus.
