In this episode, I had a one-to-one candidate conversation with a black woman, wife, and mother who courageously defines herself as a “lupus warrior”. She shared how lupus impacts her life and how she doesn't allow this health condition to defeat her. I was humbled to have Sarah on my platform. I hope you enjoy listening to her story and experience.

Let's talk about lupus... Lupus is not a frequently occurring disease if we are to compare it with the likes of diabetes and hypertension. But just because it is not as frequent as the others, doesn't mean that we shouldn't take it as something serious. If you are not prepared for its possible effects, it could definitely cause you problems. Did you know that there are about 1.5 Americans diagnosed with lupus, and there are a total of around 5 million cases worldwide? The concerning thing about it is that 90% of these patients are women, and African-American women are three times more likely to have been diagnosed with this disease than white women. Fortunately, while the actual causes of lupus are still unknown, there are available medications that help manage its symptoms. In this episode, Dr. Berry talks all about lupus and discusses what happens to the immune system of those who have it. He also puts emphasis on how it could affect basically all of the internal organs as he reassures that while there is still no answer to what really causes it, there are ways to trace lupus and treatment options to help those who have been diagnosed. Why you need to check out this episode: Learn about the nature of lupus and how it affects one's health; Understand how severe the complications brought by lupus could get and why it should never be seen as anything despite it being an infrequent disease; and Find out what signs and symptoms you should look out for if you suspect that you have lupus. “In the case of lupus, something happens where your own immune system doesn't recognize that the foreign body it's trying to attack is its actual self.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Notable Quotes: “Lupus is when your immune system says ‘Hey, you know what? I don't recognize myself, so I'm going to turn on myself.” – Dr. Berry Pierre Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.

Today's discussion is an encouragement to release attachment to the diagnosis. You are so much more than the diagnosis. Every lupus patient is different, and therefore every lupus patient's journey to health is going to look different. That was something that I learned, and address in the discussion. However, I do encourage to not get lost in the story of the diagnosis. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out on any of the platforms where I can be found.

Pain should not be ignored. It can actually become our teacher when we learn to listen to the messages that it is sending, and allow it to guide us on our journey to healing.

Sometimes it feels that there are more flavors of pain than coffee. However, I believe that pain gets a bad rap.

No victims here - A bond of love between father and daughter despite Lupus! Toya Oglesby has had a life saturated with love and support. She saw the effect Lupus can have on individuals and their families as a child. Her father had Lupus and passed away when Toya was twelve. Her sharing her life as a Lupus Warrior is not only a testimony to her personal resilience and strength but also a story of the love between father and daughter. Lupus is a disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs (autoimmune disease). Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. No two cases of lupus are exactly alike. Although lupus affects people of all ages, it's most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 45. Lupus is more common in African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Ninety percent (90%) of people living with lupus are women.  Despite the flare-ups that have affected her life Toya has received her BA in communications from Wayne State University, and her MBA from Northwood University. She currently is the Chief Operations Officer for Express Dumpster Services and has numerous volunteer partnerships. She strives to live a waste-free life by campaigning about environmental awareness and advocacy. Lupus Detroit is a voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating lupus as a major health problem through education, advocacy, and service. Lupus Warriors provide resources, education, and support for one another. Because of the pandemic, the organization is not having its two annual fundraisers. Instead, it is holding a raffle.

Enlightening Podcast with May Lynn Davis on Lupus Awareness!

I'm dedicating this episode to the individuals globally who are suffering from lupus. This message is vital for those of you needing to be seen and heard. So often those office visits can be impersonal and lacking empathy.  This episode is controversial because I vehemently disagree with conventional medicine's approach to using band-aids for treating lupus without deeply investigating what triggered it to begin with. I discuss the myths that have been told to you for so long and today I hope to open your eyes. Want to connect with Margaret?

Tonyelle Cook-Artis was diagnosed with lupus a few months before college. But that did not stop her from graduating with a 3.5 GPA, being a Resident Assistant, and working two jobs. We talk about giving birth to her post-mature son - now 18. And her career in politics.

Cherri Perron went from meeting Bill Clinton in high school, one of five black students in her college program to being diagnosed with lupus - an autoimmune disease overwhelmingly affecting women of color. She is dedicated to helping people living with lupus and not letting it define her. I spoke to her about lupus and the topic of race in Arkansaw, where she lived under Jim Crow law.

The month of May is designated as Lupus Awareness Month. Many have little knowledge about this disorder. Some recently heard of it as some of our star athletes or movie stars have come out to share their diagnosis. And others are learning that family members have or perhaps may have demonstrated symptoms of Lupus.  Lupus is a cruel mystery. It is an unpredictable and misunderstood autoimmune disease. It is difficult to diagnose. In some cases it can be hard to live with and a challenge to treat. Lupus has a range of symptoms and can strike without warning. Let talk about it as we educate ourselves as well as others. To join the conversation call 516 387-1914. Awareness can lead to resources.

May 10th was World Lupus Day. So today, we wanted to highlight the disease so that we can get the word out.     Linda Ruescher, author, public speaker and Lupus advocate is our guest today. Linda actually has Lupus as well.   How many people in the US have Lupus?   1.5 Million people in the US.   What is LUPUS?   An auto-immune disease in which your body mistakes other body parts are toxins and invaders and tries to kill them. Lupus doesn’t have one particular body part that it targets. It can go after any part of your body.   Lupus can be difficult to diagnose because:   It flares instead of being chronic The symptoms are the same as other diseases There is no definitive test for Lupus Generally they try to diagnose other things first A rheumatologist can be necessary to get a diagnosis     Lupus is like having a never-ending flu. The symptoms are the same, and the body reacts in the same way.   After 38 years undiagnosed, Linda was diagnosed in 2003. She is treated today with immune-suppressing drugs. She also takes a chemotherapy drug. It is important to know that Lupus is not cancer. The reason chemo drugs are used is because the side effect of weakening your immune system is desirable for Lupus patients.     Lupus primarily affects women in their child-bearing years.    UVA/UVB light can cause flares, so Lupus patients should stay out of the sun.   If you are on Medicare, and IV infusion would be covered under Medicare Part A.     Linda’s book, The 100 Questions and Answers About Chronic Illness. was written after she exhausted the reading of all the other books and getting peeved that she couldn’t find the information she needed.   You can find her book on amazon.com, and in the paperback and Kindle versions.   Lupus Symptoms:   •Fatigue and fever •Joint pain, stiffness and swelling •Butterfly-shaped rash on the face that covers the cheeks and bridge of the nose •Skin lesions that appear or worsen with sun exposure (photosensitivity) •Fingers and toes that turn white or blue when exposed to cold or during stressful periods (Raynaud's phenomenon) •Shortness of breath •Chest pain •Dry eyes •Headaches, confusion and memory loss     If you have 3 or more symptoms, see your Dr. If you aren’t getting anywhere with your Dr, then go see a Rheumatologist (or get a referral to one).     Resources:   www.rheumatology.org - find a Dr. by zip code     Lupus Foundation of America - www.lupus.org   Lupus Florida - www.lupusflorida.com     Contact Linda Ruescher:   On Twitter: www.twitter.com/chronicillness On Facebook: www.facebook.com/Linda Ruescher Email: linda.ruescher@gmail.com   Do you have questions or feedback?
