| 19 Jun 2024 | The Girlfriend's Guide to Lupus with Amanda Chay | 00:32:09 | |
In this episode of the Lupus Beats podcast, Shedrica Shant’e interviews Amanda Chay, author of The Girlfriend's Guide to Lupus. Amanda shares her journey with lupus and her motivation for writing the book. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, education, and being tenacious in managing one's health. Amanda also discusses the challenges of getting a diagnosis and the impact of lupus on relationships and sex life. She provides dietary tips and recommendations for managing lupus symptoms. Amanda encourages readers to remember that their life is not over because of lupus and to build a support network that understands and respects their needs. Takeaways Self-awareness and education are key in managing lupus and regaining control of one's health. Building a support network of understanding and respectful individuals is essential for navigating the challenges of lupus. Dietary choices, such as consuming fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and limiting sugar, can help manage lupus symptoms. Lupus does not define a person's identity, and life can still be fulfilling and meaningful with the condition. There is no quick fix for lupus, but small daily actions can have a significant impact on overall well-being. It is important to be choosy about who is part of one's support network and to prioritize self-care and boundaries. Having a diagnosis at a younger age and starting treatment early can lead to better management of lupus symptoms. Misconceptions about lupus include the belief that life is over with the diagnosis and that there is a quick fix for the condition.
