DearPat865, hi I'm RACHEE I was diagnosed at 65 last AUGUST with lupus antibodies, if I don't take my medication I can get full lupus so I make sure to take medications as prescribed, I've been told by several DOCTORS that I got this condition from the covid shot's, I was very strong and healthy, But I'm a caregiver and my company made me get the shot's or I would of lost my job,anyway take care and GOD BLESS YOU.

I was 65 when I was finally diagnosed with SLE . Now am 79I I feel as thou I had symptoms when I was 15!

Pat865 I still don't think primary doctors have a enough knowledge about
Lupus. I was sick as a kid and I wasn't diagnosed until I was
23 years old and pregnant for my first child. I have had lupus for over 40 or more years. It has been a lot of ups and downs with lupus problems. I did okay I raised my children. In the last 8
years have probably been my worst dealing with the lupus.
But I am now almost 66 and there are a lot of things I can't do that I did when I was younger. Hope you are handling you lupus and not
letting the lupus handling you. May God be with always❤️.

I was 53 when diagnosed. I’m now 70.

It's interesting that several of you got symptoms after getting the Covid shots. We have wondered about that too. My daughter started showing symptoms about 6 months after getting the vaccine as well. I haven't been able to find much information on it, but it just seems like there may be a connection.
