Healing with lupus doesn’t mean going back to who you were before. It means becoming someone new. Someone who has had to slow down. Someone who has had to listen to their body in ways they never had to before. Someone who has had to let go of certain expectations… and rebuild new ones. A

Living with lupus forces you to see people differently. Who respects your boundaries. Who supports you. Who makes things harder… instead of easier. And the truth is— not everyone is meant to walk through this part of your life with you. That doesn’t make you cold. That doesn’t make you

There was a time in my life when I felt completely alone in this disease. Like no one truly understood the exhaustion, the fear, the grief, or the strength it takes to keep showing up every day while battling something invisible. And somehow… through sharing pieces of my journey online, stranger

There’s always a moment where things shift. When you stop brushing it off. When you realize this isn’t normal. This was mine. What was yours? #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness #lupusawarenessmonth

Okay the last two aren’t necessary but CAN happen 😅 I had reasons behind all of these.. prednisone is not my friend, and only helps with inflammation. Sometimes, it’s the only thing to get me out of a flare, and I cannot WAIT to come off it again. #prednisone #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness

Replying to @soulless ♱ talking nutrition, Plaquenil and other meds!! I just need to go live because there’s sooooo much to talk about here 😅 what else do ya got?! Let’s chat! #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness

Remember when I said we need a “lupus flare radar”? well this is the closest I’ve found. I still can’t quite tell if this is a lupus flare, a cold, or simply because I’m well overdue for my Saphnelo infusion. But I know something is up! And that means listening to my body with light movement, ample

If you’re on Saphnelo, have you ever missed a dose? Or had a large gap in between your infusions? Did you feel symptoms come back? I can’t tell if I’m in a flare or if my lupus is just roaring back without the help of my trusted bestie Saphnelo. Tell me your experience in the comments! #lupuswarri

Living with lupus has taught me that there is a difference between pushing your body and supporting your body. Some days movement looks like lifting weights. Other days it looks like a slow walk with my dog. Both are valid. Both matter. The goal isn’t to ignore your body’s signals — it’s

Chronic illness besties DIAL IN. There is something chronic illness tries to steal from you that no one talks about enough. Not just your energy. Not just your plans. Not just your body. It tries to steal your identity. It whispers things like: “You’re behind.” “You’re a burden.” “You

Obsessed with every single piece I get from @Comfrt ! I may earn commission if you sh0p through my link, but I only share what I truly love 💜 Plus their core mission and mantra is centered on the message "You Matter," aiming to blend fashion with function to support mental wellness 💜 some of their

Not celebrating diabetes. Celebrating 23 years of survival, strength, and showing up for myself — even on the hardest days. This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s made me resilient, grateful, and proud of how far I’ve come. Grateful for insulin. Grateful for access. Grateful to still be here.

But honestly you neverrr know what a person is fighting when they have an autoimmune condition. They may look totally fine on the outside, but their body is wrecking havoc on the inside 😣 #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness #CapCut

Replying to @Angel no pre meds for me! But everyone’s experience is different. I saw immediate improvement in my skin but it took several infusions to help with other symptoms! #lupusawareness #lupuswarrior #saphnelo

#onthisday am I the only one that struggles with this decision? I mean now I just wear my infusion hoodie so they can easy take a blood pressure or labwork if they need to 😅 #lupusawareness #lupuswarrior

What do you use to treat your lupus? Saphnelo has been the best treatment option for me. If you want your own infusion hoodie head over to @MandMcares and use code “MARIA15” to save 15% on yours! #lupusawareness #lupuswarrior #saphnelo #infusions

Don’t judge my choice of trash TV 😅 how do you like to spend your time during your infusions? I’ve also been into podcasts lately- share your favorites in the comments! #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness #saphnelo

If I hear it one more time 😅 but thanks? #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness
