This November will mark five years that I have been living with lupus.  I was 19 years old, fresh out of high school, and I got hit pretty bad with my first flare up and found out it was lupus nephritis; I went right into chemotherapy.  I have been through over five rounds of chemo to treat my lupus, and I am thankful that it is under control today.  I am still on medication, but I hope to be in remission soon.  Since being diagnosed, one of my ultimate aspirations is to have a child, because I know it will be even harder for me as a lupus patient.  And that is why I am proud to be a part of the Alliance for Lupus Research's Get In On It campaign and help raise awareness of this disease.  Organizations like ALR give all of us lupus patients hope that our prognosis in every aspect, including having children, will improve with more reasearch.  I want people everywhere to be reminded that things like having a child or not having to take medication everyday is something they should always be thankful for.  I encourage everyone with my story to Get In On It with me, and you too can give hope to every lupus patient out there!
