I'm Coming Out!


I'm coming out and I named my Blog "The L Word."

What could this mean?  Obviously, this is me telling the world that I have Lupus -- a disease that's highly misunderstood and difficult to diagnose.  I intend to use this blog as an outlet and a tool for my own good health because being ashamed and hiding it is slowly killing me.  I have been reluctant to share my diagnosis, but I know I'm not alone and I don't want to feel like I have this giant black cloud that follows me everywhere. Everyone sees the cloud, but no one talks to me about it.  It feels very disingenuous.
