My wife and i have both Lupus diagnoses.
It silently invades and affects the main arteries weakening and clogging them.
In the case of my wife, three years ago the arteries supplying the brain weakened and suddenly burst taking her life in a matter of seconds.
So. Beware. Listen to the body for there are only so many tests you xsn rub fir a disease that xan invade any organ any artery
In my own body, Lupus attacked the arteries in my left leg clogging and closing some below the knee without a whisper of a hint until one day I started to feel ny calf hurt while walking. Now 2 angioplasty in the leg and 4 stents later I am hyper aware of the calf as my early warning signal.
I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your wife to this sneaky and complicated disease called lupus. Thank you for sharing your experience and warning us to be aware of how it can affect our arteries. Your message is extremely important to pay attention to. Take good care.
What a profound and heartbreaking experience to share — and what an incredibly important warning for others living with lupus. Losing your wife so suddenly, while also navigating your own diagnosis, is an immense weight to carry. Thank you for having the courage to share this.
