Doug

My name is Doug. I was diagnosed with lupus at age 17, and I have dealt with joint pain, photosensitivity, kidney disease, anemia, high blood pressure and diabetes as a result of this disease and the medications that I take to treat it.

At the same, lupus has never stopped me from reaching my goals, whether it be earning a Ph.D., getting married, or becoming a father. I feel that I have been fortunate to accomplish so much while battling such a challenging illness.
