Hang in there. I don't know a lot of people who do accept having Lupus well. The best advice I can give anyone with Lupus is to talk to other Lupus patients. We've been there and understand. I am so sorry you have to have Lupus, but we are all here if you need to talk or ask questions. What one of us doesn't know, another will, or someone will know who to ask. We're here for you.

I'm so glad you found us here at MDJunction. This is a wonderful group of people. Feel free to ask lots of questions, share your experiences, etc. We are all here for you.

As Jan52 stated, there aren't a lot of people that do accept the diagnosis of Lupus. It's tough. It's really tough. We're here to help each other through it though.

Hang in there, and just try to keep that chin up.

I was diagnosed over 2 yrs ago and am just barely accepting it-I wished I would have found this website back then-everyone is great and understands. Ask any questions and concerns and many people will respond...
