How do you get by living with Lupus?

My Mom has Lupus and it was VERY hard for me and my sister growing up. She got addicted to her pain pills and sleeping pills, she tried to kill her self and she is very depressed. Im not real sure what kind of Lupus she has but she has weird blackouts, bone detection, grandma seizures, headaches, she got like EVERYTHING taken out of her stomach... The list goes on. I was just wondering how others deal with it? My Mom didnt take it so well... :(

Based on the symptoms you mention it sounds like your mom has what they call systemic lupus which means that the disease affects vital organs too.

Here's a link to the Lupus Foundation which can offer a lot of information and even links to support groups: http://www.lupus.org
