Hello to everyone in the lupus world, including loved ones touched by this disease.  I've been living with lupus for over a decade and have a unique perspective on the disease as a licensed pharmacist.  Friends and family alike have encouraged me along the way to continue my efforts in bringing clarity and awareness to everyone affected by this disease.  My goal is to reduce anxiety when I can as well as arm people with the best lupus information possible in order to make great healthcare decisions. 

Most people take a backseat approach to healthcare, following doctor's orders unquestioningly.  While understandable, my approach encourages everyone, regardless of disease state whether it's lupus, diabetes or hypertension, to walk into their doctor's office with the most up-to-date information in order to discuss options of care, putting control back into the "patient's" hands. 

This blog has been created to give lupus information to those who are in need or just curious as well as an outlet for me to catalog my life's adventure with lupus.  I thank you for your interest and look forward to this new journey!
