- It took singer, actress, and producer, Toni Braxton ten years to get a lupus diagnosis. In this episode of SHE MD, Toni Braxton shares her story alongside her rheumatologist, Dr. Daniel Wallace, one of the world’s leading authorities on lupus. This episode dives deep into Braxton’s personal experiences with lupus, including passing out during a performance and overhearing her surgeons debate the necessity of bypass surgery while under twilight. Despite being advised to conceal her condition, Toni now advocates for lupus awareness, an often invisible illness that disproportionately affects women, and is frequently misdiagnosed as chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Braxton also touches on personal milestones, including being discovered as a singer at a gas station at age twenty-two, and her upcoming residency in Vegas with Cedric the Entertainer.
Dr. Daniel Wallace and Dr. A explore the complex interplay between lupus and pregnancy, emphasizing the critical goal of supporting lupus patients through their first trimester and addressing the reproductive issues linked to autoimmune diseases. This episode not only sheds light on Toni Braxton's personal battle with lupus but also educates and empowers others dealing with similar challenges, offering hope and understanding for those navigating the complexities of this autoimmune disease.
Toni is such a trooper. Love her openness. Thanks for posting.
Toni is such an inspiration. She's dealt with so many difficult situations including her health struggles, yet she always exudes grace and class. When I'm not feeling well I think about her
Thriving with lupus is my constant and consistent goal. I pray for all people with lupus and pray for a cure. God bless you Toni. 🙏
Lupus is a major life changing condition… not only is she my favorite performer but I look up to her because we share a commonality with a lupus diagnosis. I wish every friend and family member of a lupus patient would watch this episode. I appreciate this so very much!
Toni’s so beautiful on the inside and outside. Continued Success and Health to this brave woman! I look forward to seeing her in Vegas in December!❤👑🎤
Toni has great strength as she's been through a lot. A divorce, lupus, autistic son and loss of her sister. Come to think of it, my own life is similar. It's so scary to think that Toni was undiagnosed for so long.
Absolutely love this, well constructed and informative! Toni is such an icon, appreciate and love her for her willingness to share her story ❤️ Thank you both for having her!
OMG! Thank you, ladies and Dr. Wallace.
I'm newly diagnosed, and it took over a decade since my first lupus symptoms, and I get why it's difficult. Listening to Toni over recent years, researching, while trying to figure out what was happening in my body has helped tremendously, so thank you for sharing your journey.
I cry, thinking of all the times I wasn't being heard by my VA doctors. The emergency room visits with no resulting diagnosis-was even given percocet at one visit. It's a horrible and depressing journey to getting diagnosed for many. I'm just extremely grateful for shows like this. Many blessings 🙌 💛
Now, on to the challenge of finding a good rheumatologist.
