Transcript

things that happened to my body because of lupus that I didn't even know were symptoms. One is an oversensitivity and flush from alcohol. I would get red, literally from the smallest drink. And I had no idea that that was in part to my lupus. And this is the one that actually made me do something about it. I did not realize that being out in the sunlight without full sun protection was going to give me full body rashes. I had no idea that was a lupus thing. So I found this app and I just started texting it and telling it some of the weird things that was happening when I was out in the sunlight and it tracked it all for me. And it helped me kind of see what those triggers were. Like any time I was out in the heat for more than an hour, I started to notice I would get more swollen joints and more exhausted. I brought it to my doctor and she confirmed it and it genuinely shocked me. What's also awesome is all of those symptoms that I keep track of, it can print out in a clean PDF report so I can just give it to my doctor at my appointments. Another weird symptom is I really struggle to be upside down now. I was at a... so anytime I was going upside down or something, I would just get so flushed red and I thought it was the weirdest thing, but turns out that's totally a part of it and it just happens with lupus. That's it for me, but if you have any others or need the app, let me know in the comments.
