A heartfelt and informative journey through the life of someone living with lupus. ​

My name is Lex-Ann Martin, and I am honored to share my personal experiences, insights, and the knowledge I've gained while navigating this challenging condition. ​Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, I have always been a determined and hardworking individual. ​ My journey with lupus began unexpectedly, and it has been a path filled with both struggles and triumphs. ​ This guide is not just a recount of my experiences but a resource for anyone affected by lupus, whether directly or through a loved one.

Living with lupus can be incredibly challenging, but what keeps me going is likely a mix of inner strength, support from loved ones, and the things that bring me joy and purpose. Maybe it’s the small victories—waking up on a good day, finding moments of peace, or accomplishing something despite the obstacles. Perhaps it’s the people who stand by me, the hobbies that give me an escape, or the dreams I refuse to let go of. My faith in Jesus, the healing power of music, and the joy of good food—those are powerful reasons to keep going.
