I have a fourteen year old daughter who has many symptoms of Lupus, but has not been diagnosed yet as this is new. She is going on missing her fifth week of school. She had the butterfly rash, head ahes, kidney pain, stomache ache, photo sensitivity, and muscle and joint pain. Why do people with Lupus go through chemo therapy? What does that do for them?

Hey Sadie May

I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 12 years old. I had a rash on my face as well and was feeling tired all the time. It took them a long time to diagnose what was wrong with me. When they finally decided that it was lupus, I had to have chemotherapy. Right now I am 26 years old. My lupus is in remission and I am able to live normally. I have never had a lupus flare.

Fighting Lupus is hard, but it important that you take care of yourself. You should see the doctor, the symptoms will continue to get worse without treatment. I know chemo seems scary, it is, but you can do it if you have to. You have the strength to get through any situation that is put in front of you.
