When did you get diagnosed with Lupus?

I 100% agree!

I was diagnosed with lupus at 22 I got it from my father’s side as well I was devastated I could no longer enjoy the sun. I can deal with everything else that goes along with lupus but me not being able to be out in the sun is by far the worse thing ever for me

I was diagnosed at 21 and wasn't prepared

I was diagnosed at 22. You’re really never too young.

You’re not too young to be concerned about your health especially if it runs in the family and if you’re already experiencing some minor symptoms. I started getting sick when I was a very young girl and through my teens into my 20s I frequently battled upper respiratory infections and asthma. My body ached all the time but I never paid much attention to it. Now my youngest daughter who is in her early 20s also was recently diagnosed with lupus based on her recent ANA results and symptoms. Had I known about this illness, I would have gotten checked out a lot sooner. It doesn’t hurt to be vigilant.
