Well I don't if this would qualify as a deep dark secret but I would say so…At the time I was living in Florida in the process of moving back to Chicago…It was a month before me and my family were moving back and a week before I was done with my freshman yr…Out of nowhere I got flu like symptoms…I had some test done to see what was wrong with me and the doctors dignosed me with LUPUS …Yes I have something called LUPUS that I've had since I was 15 yrs old before that I was in good health condition, I was in the hospital for like a week when I was still in Florida when I came back here to Chicago I was in the hospital for 2months….I havent told many people I have LUPUS only my family and my close friends know about it…What is LUPUS?you ask…LUPUS is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. The body's immune system normally makes proteins called antibodies to protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other foreign materials. These foreign materials are called antigens. In an autoimmune disorder like lupus, the immune system loses its ability to tell the difference between foreign substances (antigens) and its own cells and tissues…

Having LUPUS hasnt changed on how I go about my life…I still do what any "normal" teen does…As a matter a fact I have 6 piercing and 3 tattoos's. I got them done after I was told that getting anything like that would harm me and it hasnt thank God…So yeah I am still "normal"…I do have my days where I dont feel so well and might be puffy but I dont let that get me down…I'm letting this out because I feel like getting this out my chest would make me feel better…
