My name is Melissa. I was diagnosed with Lupus in May of 2010. I have to say that at first I was happy to have a diagnosis to go with what was going on. But then my heart broke as I thought about all the battles I would face. I have 3 amazing children and a wonderful husband who has stood by my side for years of sickness. I look back now and believe that I had lupus through my younger years and that I was just never diagnosed. I had a doctor tell me it was all in my head and that I needed mental help. He didn't last long as my doctor. By that point I had been sick for years, and I had been very ill since February of 2010. I switched to a new doc in April 2010. He had me admitted to the hospital as it hurt to even move or breath. S
