starlon davis I never planned to write a book. I never planned to live in a body that felt like it was falling apart piece by piece. But here I am-telling the truth about life with lupus, chronic back pain, and bones that feel like they’ve been through war.
This isn’t a story for sympathy. It’s a story for survival.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that attacks your own body. But what it really attacks is your spirit-slowly, quietly, every single day.
The back pain, the joint swelling, the brain fog, the extreme exhaustion… it’s all real. Even when no one else can see it.
I’m writing this for the ones who hurt in silence.
For the ones who smile through the pain. For the ones who are tired of being told “you don’t look sick.”
You are not weak. You are not lazy.
You are powerful in ways this world may never understand.
And this is my truth.
