I want to help educate the world about a disease that affects many but very few know about, Lupus is an incurable disease that causes many things to happen that people do not physically see.

5 weeks into treatment for my respiratory illness and 24 weeks to go 😳 getting stronger and better everyday. Over the last few weeks there have been a lot of reality checks like not being able to exercise as much, not being able to work as much, not being able to freely do what I want and being told that I will not be able to compete for most likely the rest of the year was probably the worst feeling. I have had mixed emotions about it but have also tried looking at the positives of how I am getting better even though I still have to take 18 tablets a day (at least it ain’t 22 😂). Slowly returning to work, slowly returning to exercise, slowly return to life the way it should be. Trusting the process and actually letting people in to help me which isn’t something I usually do. Thank you to everyone who has message or called or visited, it means more that you will even know and understand. I feel so blessed to have so many amazing people in my life 💜💜💜

**TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS**
Last week, my GP told me I couldn’t compete at the National Championships. It felt like the world suddenly tilted — dramatic, yes, but that’s truly how it felt in the moment. I was told I was too unwell to compete, but not quite sick enough for hospital care.

Something didn’t sit right with me, so I trusted my gut and took myself to the hospital. It turns out my condition was significantly more serious than anyone expected. I was immediately placed in an isolation room with extremely limited contact with the outside world for nearly a week.

Right now, I’m not ready to share the specifics of my diagnosis — it’s come as a shock, and I’m still adjusting. But I want to share this with my fellow lupus warriors: trust your instincts.

My condition is serious — not just for me, but also potentially for those around me. The specialist team told me that the situation SHOULD have been much worse, but because I actively look after my health, it likely helped lessen the severity.

The road to recovery will be long and will take the rest of the year, but I’m staying hopeful and focused on healing.

So I leave you with two reminders:
1. Always trust your instincts — no one knows your body like you do.
2. Look after yourself ALWAYS,because the strength you build now can carry you through the battles you don’t yet see.

Wondering what I have been doing… hello lupus warriors and my supporter, 2025 has started out very busy with appointments to track my lupus and support my fitness. The year has started with a focus on fuelling my body to help minimise the risk of a lupus flare up. Some weeks it has worked other weeks there is something that has triggered it and has been added to the don’t eat list! Super challenging but I love a challenge! My goal is still to show lupus that it won’t stop me, are you up for my 2025 journey?!

I have been told many times that lupus will stop you from doing stuff like running, I have always wanted to prove this statement wrong and it’s been a challenge. Today, I proved this statement to be wrong and I ran at the if you haven’t worked it out when I’m in my element nothing stops me and today was an example of no matter what I got this if I put my mind to it, and also lupus you can go in the bin 🚮 💪👏

Happy 5 years anniversary to my biggest challenger, Lupus! 5 years since my lupus diagnosis and wow what a crazy five years it has been, I still have no idea how my illness works but it makes me the person I am. Every time I think I can’t do it anymore, I somehow find the mental strength to push through! Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way and for those of you who have supported my page. 💜

Repost from - this relates to me on so many level at the moment, I have a reel coming tomorrow to give you all an update on what’s been going on with me, why I have MIA for the last few months. Some positives and some difficult hurdles over the last few months but I want to share with you what not giving up looks like ### Yours Sincerely Lupus (aka Selin, just your average person) 😂🫶

Been a while since I posted and I feel like I have said that numerous times the last year. The last year has been super challenging for my body and it has not coped. I spent possibly 10 out of the 12 months in a flare up or sick in 2023. Going into 2024, I was hoping for this year to be different but I started January with severe tonsillitis and I have relapsed in February… it is mentally so draining and it gets hard trying not to blame lupus because if I didn’t have medication for lupus that suppressed my immune system then I wouldn’t be always getting sick. Training has taken a step back as I try to get better and like every obstacle I have faced I will get through this one, but the reason I am sharing this with you is because if you are going through something that is really mentally testing you just know that there are people on this earth to support you no matter what you are going through. Thank you to those people who continually support me and look after me you know who you are because I have sent messages to you to say thank you or told you in person!! Keep pushing everyone and keep showing the challenges you face (no matter how small) who is boss - we are the boss of how we face everything! You got this! 🫶

Been a month or so since I competed, my body has been really challenging me this year which has made me rethink whether swimming is my thing or not. Mentally it has been super challenging to think about my swimming and the acceptances of my bodies challenges. I have had to work on accepting and realising that my body is going to sometimes not work with me and that’s okay - I had a few comps where I would cry because of the pain and that it was ruining my swimming. Today was states for masters, I had a mixture of feelings coming into the comp. I was so happy to have some of my team mates join me and remind me that swimming isn’t just about being competitive it’s about having fun as well 💛🖤💚 💜

After a crappy day today it’s good to focus on one of the highlights of my weekend which was celebrating the end of the swim season and winning some awards. My name is now engraved into a bit of the clubs history which makes it even more special!!
