Lupus chick #6: Shernae Smith

I know this blog has been pretty upbeat in
celebrating the great things people have done despite lupus, but sometimes the greatest comfort lies in honestly talking about the tough times.
Today we celebrate Sharnae "Nae" Smith, a beautiful woman who has the courage to tell it like it is.
"I was diagnosed with Lupus in year 2011. I can remember when I was in the doctor’s office awaiting my results because I had been experiencing the symptoms of Lupus for the past couple of weeks, and I had
finally gotten to the point to where I had to find out what was going on with my body. My rheumatologist walked in with his clip board, and put his head down. I knew it was bad news. He told me then that I had lupus. At that time I didn't know what lupus was or what it would do to me.  My life has been changed ever since! Not only had I gained weight from the various medications I was on, but I also experienced a lot of depression and anger. I had to learn to fight on through. It was so many people that looked up to me or needed me for something, I had to dig deep within myself and discover my true strength and joy in order to make it day to day. I suffered low self esteem and I felt sorry for myself all the time. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I'd live my life as a good person, and now I'm battling a disease that I didn't know existed. I asked myself everyday, How could something so bad happen to me? Hadn't I done everything right in my lifetime? What did I do to deserve this? Truth is, as I live on, I believe I got this disease as apart of my purpose in life. As of now, I am a advocate for lupus and plan on starting my own foundation to help those that are fighting this. To all my people that are fighting lupus, the advice that I have for you is to not let this be a disability, but let it be wake up call to always enjoy life and never take anything for granted. We’re strong and we prove that every day that we wake up, and I hope my story one day can be a testimony to
someone who is going through the same thing".
