Some days lupus feels like 100% of my life. Other days, maybe 10%. And on the really good days? Maybe even 2%. 💅🏼 But here’s the thing… no matter how much of my day lupus takes up, it will never be 100% of who I am. 👊🏼 read that again. Plot twist: I’m actually a whole person outside of my ch

I am so close. #CapCut

Then 15 mins later “high alert” And it ALWAYS happens when it’s a level that is mildly concerning. Never when I’m just in range hanging out. #dexcomg7 #type1diabetes #t1d #lupuswarrior

No pockets? No problemm. I used to avoid wearing dresses because “where am I gonna put my pump?” 😅 this garter is everything - and the slim belts I could wear over OR under leggings and it won’t show - perfect for my next gym session. Which ones are you checking out? Vivianwearables.com thank you f

Keep showing up. Prioritize you. Life is about to show you how good it can get. Make sure you’re ready 💕 #lupusawareness #lupuswarrior

A year ago, I walked surrounded by friends, family, and an incredible community. This year looks a little different. Life has been hard. There have been moments this year where showing up has felt like one of the hardest things to do. But if lupus has taught me anything over the last 10 years

I go through my phases.. juice boxes, skittles, glucose tabs 🤢, yogurt bites, but lately it’s been DATES 😂 they’re so good and it does the trick every single time 🤷🏼‍♀️ tell me your most unusual low snack lately. #type1diabetes #t1d #t1dlookslikeme #lupuswarrior #lupusawareness

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received was this: pay attention to how someone handles conflict. Anyone can be kind when everything is going well. Anyone can be charming when they’re getting their way. But disagreements, disappointments, and misunderstandings reveal emotional maturit

There comes a point where your heart and your body start telling you the same thing. The anxiety. The exhaustion. The heaviness. The feeling that you’ve outgrown a place that no longer feels safe. Listen. Walking away from what hurts you isn’t weakness. Choosing yourself isn’t selfish.

I know hydroxychloroquine retinal toxicity sounds scary. And honestly, after being on it for 10 years, I understand why people ask about it. But this is why annual eye exams matter. The risk of retinal toxicity is considered low when hydroxychloroquine is dosed appropriately, especially at

There are certain artists you listen to, and then there are artists you feel. For me, Rufus isn’t just music. It’s therapy, it’s movement, it’s release, it’s healing. It’s the soundtrack to long drives, sunset walks, workouts, deep thoughts, heartbreak, hope, and all the versions of myself I’ve

This isn’t a pity party. And it’s certainly not me saying that people with chronic illness can’t live full, meaningful, beautiful lives. We absolutely can. But living with lupus has changed the way I define wealth. When you’ve spent thousands on medications, infusions, doctor visits, lab w

This month has been more successful than I ever imagined—not just for my page, but for raising awareness about what it truly means to live with lupus. I have loved creating these videos, sharing my experiences, telling my story, and connecting with so many incredible people along the way. What s

Here’s a caption that matches the emotional/intelligent tone of the video while still being very relatable: One of the hardest parts of living with lupus is realizing how complicated it really is. People hear “autoimmune disease” and often assume it’s one doctor, one treatment plan, one set o

One of the biggest lessons lupus taught me was how to pace my energy. Not because I wanted to slow down… but because my body eventually forced me to. Pacing isn’t giving up. It isn’t laziness. And it isn’t “being dramatic.” It’s learning how to work with your body instead of constantly

Please list your pros and cons for the mobi. Do you love it?? Do you wish you went with something different? Tell me EVERYTHING 💙💙 thank you. #type1diabetes #t1d #t1dlookslikeme #tandemmobi #insulinpump

One of the quietest parts of living with lupus is when the support slowly fades. At first, people check in constantly. They ask how you’re doing. They want updates. But over time, your illness becomes part of the background to everyone else… even though you’re still living with it every
