Vanisha's Story

My name is Vanisha, I am a 30 year old optometrist living in London diagnosed with SLE lupus in 2018. Never in my wildest dreams did I think at 25 I would be on lifetime medication and taking daily pills to survive.  I had no idea what lupus was apart from the little I learnt about it in a lecture at university.
