Sarah Ali, a 28-year-old graphic designer,...
Sarah Ali, a 28-year-old graphic designer, had always been active and healthy. Over the past six months, she began experiencing debilitating fatigue, painful swelling in her fingers and wrists, and a persistent butterfly-shaped rash across her cheeks. Her primary care physician, concerned about an autoimmune disorder, referred her to a rheumatologist. The rheumatologist, suspecting lupus, ordered an ENA Profile to check for specific autoantibodies. Sarah was anxious during the blood draw, fearing a life-altering diagnosis. The wait for results was agonizing. When the results came back positive for anti-dsDNA and anti-Smith antibodies, confirming Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, she felt a mix of devastation and strange relief to finally have an answer. Starting on hydroxychloroquine and a low-dose steroid, her symptoms gradually improved. While coming to terms with a chronic illness was difficult, having a definitive diagnosis empowered her to manage her health. The emotional journey shifted from fear of the unknown to a determined focus on managing her new reality.
