Client Centered Network highlights Lupus: Despite Lupus interviewed!
I recently took part in an interview for The Client Centered Network, whose blog is currently highlighting lupus in honor of Lupus Awareness Month. I was happy to participate, and thrilled that they chose to highlight our disease as a way of educating and informing others about lupus. They asked great, thoughtful questions, and also interviewed Leslie Rott of Getting Closer to Myself and Shaista Tayabali of Lupus in Flight, both with whom I've had the honor of working.

If I try to do too much, get too stressed, or wait too long to nap, there are consequences. My body reacts, my symptoms increase, and I risk a flare. So despite the fact that I look normal, happy, and healthy, not a day goes by that I don’t think about living with lupus.
