My View Series #4

I was doing some internet research on what could trigger a lupus flare and came across a magazine called Lupus Now. It had some good articles to help lupies deal with their symptoms and learn to live with lupus. They have a section called "My View" where they have readers respond to a question. In the Summer 2011 issue, they asked, "What would you tell a friend who has just been diagnosed with lupus?" I really liked some of the responses, so I'll share some of them in a series of posts.

Be kind to yourself, be kind to those around you. Educate loved ones. Take time to care for yourself first so you have endurance to care for others. Find humor, chocolate and tolerance with your condition. You don't have to like it, you just have to accept it.—Paige Collins
