Moms parenting with chronic illness

Lupus/Advice

Anonymous because I don’t want my family knowing right now. I know this group is for more about mom’s stuff, but I am a mom dealing with this. I found out Friday that I may have lupus and I have been struggling really bad with pain every single day. And I’ve read a lot of the issues that come along with it. It’s already caused my lung function to drop into the 40s permanently along with I’m struggling to even pee because it’s messing with my kidneys. I barely eat because I feel like I’m gonna throw up all the time and I’m so tired that I can barely keep my eyes open to walk most days. I have a three-year-old and a seven-year-old and I’m currently struggling every single day to get up to take care of them. I guess I’m just seeking advice or maybe someone to talk to that is dealing with something similar or the same as me. I also am just seeking advice on what I can do for the pain. Unfortunately it’s actual bone and joints that hurt so over-the-counter medicines don’t help but if you have anything herbal that is known to work I’d love to know. 
Again, just seeking someone who is dealing with something the same or similar to me. Advice on natural pain management. Advice on how to deal with this while taking care of 2 boys and working. Any advice is welcomed.
Sincerely, a very tired momma🫩🤍
