Amanda Parham's Story

  • Jan 28, 2022
I spent several years feeling very sick and horrible. I thought I was falling apart. After numerous doctors telling me that I was fine, I finally decided to go to a new doctor. I met with a new doctor in a new state and told the physician everything I was going through and how I felt. The physician ordered testing and after various tests – I received some answers, some good news, and some bad news. The bad news told me I tested positive for lupus.
