Life of Lupus Warriors: Myna in Kannada

"Namaskar, my name is Myna, and I am a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patient from rural Bangalore, Karnataka. When I was first diagnosed with SLE in 2017, I had no idea what it was. At first, I couldn't understand what was happening to my body. One morning, I woke up with stiffness and swelling in my joints, hands, and fingers. I went to a nearby hospital, but they couldn't determine the cause of the swelling, despite conducting blood tests. They only told me that my blood counts were low.
The symptoms persisted, so I went to St. John's Hospital, where the orthology doctor referred me to the immunology department. The immunology doctors asked me about my symptoms, including joint swelling, morning stiffness, facial rashes, hair loss, and mouth ulcers. After conducting additional blood tests, they confirmed that I had SLE/Lupus. I was in disbelief, as there is no exact reason for SLE, and it primarily affects women.
The doctors prescribed medications, including steroids, but I skipped one tablet due to the high cost. My relatives suggested trying Ayurvedic, Unani, and homeopathic treatments, but they didn't work for me. I returned to English medications, but skipping one tablet led to further complications, including protein and creatinine leakages in my urine. A kidney biopsy confirmed that I had reached class 3, and my medications were increased to control the protein leakage.
I am grateful for the excellent treatment I receive at St. John's Hospital from highly professional senior doctors. They also conduct awareness programs and provide support to patients, including economical assistance. I have learned that SLE patients can lead normal lives if we follow doctors' instructions and take our medications regularly. Thank you."
