What is lupus (SLE)?
Imagine your immune system getting over-active and instead of protecting you, it attacks you. There are good days, bad days and really bad days. You'll never know.

Me Joints - Oh-Me-Joint

Early February 2004, I was feeling ancient.
My fingers were still swollen and painful.
The pain extended to my waist, hips, knees .. I was only 26.
Waking up in the morning was horrible. I could barely get my motor started!
How could this be happening!?


I didn't want to go back to Dr. Tan TT as I was, well, disappointed.

With keywords, ANF, joints pain and many hours of internet surfing, I suspected that it could be SLE, or Lupus. I needed a diagnose. But, where?

A specialist had already brushed away my symptoms like they were er... peanuts?
