I too have very good friends who support me all the way. The one thing that really winds me up though is when people say to me "you always have something wrong with you" and they know I have lupus and they know it effects my whole body. Of course, when I get a cold (which is only about once a year!!!), within two days I will have a bad chest infection, followed by a flare, and be wiped out for two weeks.

I am no doctor, but if someone I knew had an illness like lupus, I would be able to link the two! That feels better now I have said that.
