to preface, my girlfriend has stage 3 lupus and PTSD
on saturday she had a lupus flare (was in remission for 6 months) and i think this one is going to be bad, like real bad her hips and knees are incredibly swollen, her joints are in immense pain, her skin is starting to break out and not look so good, her toes are swelling up, her kidneys arent processing anything well at all (lots of blood in her stool and urine lately), she couldnt physically move this morning without hurting herself, and shes having some episodes from PTSD due to all the stress from her lupus flare and being unable to work on her business and not being able to take care of herself ive had to take the past few days off of work to care of her and make sure shes getting her proper medicine, shots, rest, etc etc ive been on the phone with her immunologist, a homeopathic specialist, and the rheumatologist to try to get her the help she needs but everyone is booked up and going to have wait at least a week to get her care unless someone cancels she was diagnosed with lupus in her early 20s and from what I recall it can be more fatal in younger women and progress faster into being more severe/fatal shes constantly worried that she could get easily sick within the next few years and die from it just because her body isnt a normal fucking body and it gets me so depressed to see her this way because there's nothing i can really do for her and help her with with lupus being a fickle bitch and her PTSD medicine fucking her up even more i know things are worse for her than it is me, but i am just so incredibly stressed out and full of anxiety because of how dangerous a flare can be, especially in younger women some of my "friends" have been trying to get me to break up with her and focus on myself because they dont think i should be with someone that has so much baggage and things wrong with them i am just so incredibly stressed out from having to miss work and practically be at her side 24/7 but its just something that i have to do i would never, ever wish something like this on anyone --- ...

It's not as bad as lupus but I can somewhat relate to your situation. Your own struggles become secondary to the point where you feel bad for even talking about it. It's important to have a place to vent, which makes it that much shittier that your friends aren't being supportive. I'd take it not so much as them not wanting to deal with her as it is them not wanting to deal with you.
Ultimately, if you really love her it should easy to make the necessary sacrifices. It still sucks, but the decision is easy at least. Anyway I hope she'll pull through. And hang in there. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It might not mean much coming from some random dude on the internet but I think you're a good guy for sticking with her and helping her. I hope for the best for you guys.

She can get up and move, shes just slow and cant walk or be active for very long before the pain becomes too much. Honestly the worst part is how randomly long (or short) flares can last --- ...

I wish your GF and you luck Thanks. The doc prescribed her some new medicine for her C-PTSD that has been giving her mood swings but is making her stress more manageable (stress being like the worst thing for lupus) --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sorry man, hope everything gets better for her.
My dog is 14 years old and he looks like he's about at the end of his rope, not the same as a GF of course but still tough.
