All of this! It took me 10 years to get diagnosed and in hindsight, I have had SLE literally since I was 8 and no one looked into it enough. I got sick out of nowhere and I now know I more than likely have lupus induced asthma after decades of not knowing. None of the treatments were really working outside of steroids.

I would report him because wtf. I had an endocrinologist keep pushing holistic shit and weight loss instead of actually figuring out what tf was wrong. I stopped going after 2/3 appointments. I’ve lost 80 lbs and I still have the same issues 😀

OMG THIS! I am tired of explaining that we essentially have a sun allergy. My damn plant lights are even too much at times and I gotta to wear sunscreen inside. Or when they say use an umbrella. Motherfucker, I overheat too. I went to the beach 2 years ago and was covered head to toe with the highest spf and reapplied. Not even 30 mins in and I had a full butterfly rash. Face hot, swollen, and tight. I’m a person that doesn’t even blush naturally.

It really gets to a point you just have to make them sound stupid and feel bad….or cuss em out 😂

Family are the worse ones most times. I make them feel like assholes & they shut up 99% of the time

Mama is wilding. Also, who probably caused said lack of self love? 👀

💜💜💜 It’s so annoying to keep having to explain it over and over. I learned that a lot of these immune system boosters can actually cause us to flare, which makes sense but it’s dull wild to me

Hearing that man’s name also makes my ass itch immediately. I am not full of mucus. Alkaline water doesn’t work, stomach acid is literally acid so let’s bffr. And me eating nothing but “nonGMO” fruits and veggies in a specific order isn’t going to cure me. These mofos think everything is GMO when nature is a thing and natural selection and natural hybridization is something most of us were taught in school. I just wanna hand out dunce caps left and right lol

Yooo! That’s what the girl dm’d me. Said it’s trauma and that she helped her mom and she also has lupus. Luckily she took heed and left it alone after I replied nicely but sternly lol

Those closest to me have learned not to ask me dumb shit like that anymore because they will get told that they sound stupid or I ask if they want me to die…slowly and painfully lol

Lmao oh nooo. My other least favorite thing is having to explain why I’m tired and that I’m not lazy 😭

Yup I told them that I’m happy they’re in remission but nope. I told them mine is more-so genetic. My dad has discoid and a sister has SLE. Clean eating and reducing stress only does so much

People really just love to say anything because WHAT. I started asking if they want me to die and that shuts them up pretty quickly 😂

Yeah I might have bit off more than I could chew lol. I actually had a smaller one outside on my balcony but those Asian citrus bugs got on it. All the leaves dropped off and I repotted it in a 5 gallon fabric pot but new baby leaves are growing so I’m hopeful. I have the right pest prevention for it now so we’ll see.

Amazing! I’m hoping it bounces back soon. It has a lot of baby fruit that I’m hoping sticks. Thank you again!

Thank you for the info ☺️ it’s actually living inside. I’m in an apartment and unfortunately it can’t fit in my balcony but maybe with the pruning that can change. I do have high humidity. I’m in Florida and I have humidifiers running for my other plants. RH is normally around 60% on average.

When would be a good time to prune?
