- Her symptoms, many doctors’ visits, and finally a diagnosis and treatment
- How meeting with the top lupus doctor in the country taught her how nutrition was important
- How focusing on nutrition and health she was able to decrease her lupus flares from two flares every year lasting between 6 weeks and 3 months to only having one flare every 18-24 months
- What a lupus flare is like and how she was able to take care of her children
- How her faith carried her through the really tough days
- Tips for other moms going through a chronic illness
- Challenges she’s faced living with lupus
- How her husband has been her rock through the hurdles she’s faced
