Proclamation for City of Pleasanton Lupus Awareness Month


Thank you to the City of Pleasanton recognizing May as Lupus Awareness Month! I feel honored to accept the award and raise awareness. The mayor's mother had Lupus and a former assistant there. They of course said I don't look like I have anything wrong. And that's why I advocate. Unbeknownst to them, I need a kidney as my function now has dropped to 9%, my entire body hurts, carrying 10lbs of water weight, and a migraine. Spread the word of Purple 💜 Power! #lupusawareness #lupussucks #lupuswarrior #lupusnephritis #chronicillness #chronicfatigue #chronicpain #health #spoonie #invisibleillness #inspiration #autoimmunedisease #ckd #chronickidneydisease #kidneytransplant #spoontheory #endometriosis #chemotherapy
