I had simply found the profession I had been trying to find and was on the quick monitor of promotions, getting ready a request to turn into a Commissioned Naval Officer after I immediately turn into severely in poor health. 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 buddies resulted in a visit to the ER, a 7 day keep within the hospital, a number of prolonged stays on the hospital and a prognosis of systematic lupus erythematous at solely 23 years, solely at barely 2 years into my profession. Over the subsequent 3 years lupus robbed me of my profession, my journey desires, relationships, friendships, and motherhood.

Lupus got here to steal, kill and destroy however this warrior is just not taking place with out a combat, so day by day I wake I’m decided to beat lupus.
