LUPUS & SELF ESTEEM

Does Lupus affect the self esteem of the afflicted? The rash, the medications and their side effects, it all can take it's toll on an individual's value of self worth.

    Absolutely! I was on a high dose of prednisone and gained 30 lbs. I was around 100 lbs before being diagnosed, so this was a drastic change in appearance. A full year later I am still working on losing the weight gained during that horrible bout!

    Just another symptom of LUPUS that is not seen by the public.
