This is my lupus story, old in a ton of words and ramblings. This video is over three years old, but I thought I would resurrect it from my now defunct YouTube channel because I feel telling it is important, and that connecting with others is as well. Who knows if there will be a group of us on Steemit, but hey, why not?
I am more than my lupus, but with a disease that is so difficult to diagnose and affects you every day, it is important to reach out to not feel isolated. Living with this illness for the past decade has taught me a lot, and shaped who I am, so it is, in a way, a part of me.

Although this story was done in conjunction with Lupus Connection, they no longer appear to have my story online. You can read pretty much the same story on St. Thomas Trust's website. http://www.lupus.org.uk/patients-stories/375-annastory
