A Dream Career Lost to Lupus

My invisible illness came in the way of my passion

Around a decade ago I completed my degree, got married, and started my life at a wholly new place. Back then I chose to be a stay-at-home mom and look after my new-born.

As time passed I started getting bored of just staying at home all the time. I started being self-conscious of wasting my degree and knowledge, thus I began seeking opportunities to explore my horizons and put my degree to some use.

It was my daughter's school admission day. The headteacher was a very friendly lady. After the initial introduction of my child she asked me about my profession I told her I was a housewife, but like always I also revealed my academic accomplishments in the conversation.

We had a detailed discussion about my child’s curriculum and the strategies that would be used to educate her. To my surprise, she was flattered with my knowledge of the latest curriculum requirements and teaching techniques. She offered me a job at the spot. I was thrilled by this opportunity and accepted the position without any delay.

I got my first placement as a teacher without any effort, but the job itself was not as easy as some of us might think. It involved long hours and hard work, but I loved my job.

The environment was amazing I adored my students and the self-satisfaction I got at the end of the day was matchless. In this course of achievements, I had lost sight of my invisible enemy.

I was diagnosed with Lupus after the birth of my daughter. By the time I started working I had come to terms with it. I accepted it as a part of my life. A handful of medicines twice a day, routine weekly blood tests, occasional aches, and pains were all normal for me.

I was busy with my work thinking I had it all under control, until one day when I woke up and I just couldn’t move. Every bone in my body seemed to have broken. I had Intense pain accompanied by a low-grade fever.
