- As a successful actor and star of the FreeForm network's hit television show Pretty Little Liars, Ian Harding has a busy schedule. When he is not on set, Ian uses his success and new found fame for a larger purpose: to advocate for lupus. Ian has teamed up with the Lupus Foundation of America to raise awareness about lupus, an unpredictable and misunderstood autoimmune disease that affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans. Ian talks openly about his connection with the disease, and how his mother’s diagnosis in 1994 shaped his life and that of his sister.
I pray for all the people with this, may God love you and keep you safe.
My mother also has Lupus, and when I saw the commercial on tv I started crying and jumping up and down at the same time. Seeing this video, and seeing someone famous has been through what I have in trying to help my mom.... I can't even express how happy that makes me. Sometimes when you've been in this bubble of being a care giver, you forget that other people go through the same thing everyday. It's just about connecting and helping each other through another day.
I hope your mom is doing well :-)
you talk like someone who has been touched by chronic illness. Thank you
He's the sweetest human😭💕😍
I am 40 latino male with lupus it sucks, alot of people look at you like nothing wrong with you. And deep inside it feels like a train wreck , weak tired and pain. It's gets depressing some times. Keep faith and push on fight on!
Daniel Morales I feel you. I am already at the extent of telling them that I can switch my whole being to them so they can describe how it feels..❤❤❤
Bless you, dude! I’m 27 & got diagnosed at the end of 2018...I’m still trying to navigate this life and it gets so tough sometimes. Stay strong man 🖤 we got this
I know they're is no word to explain what people go through unless you experience it yourself or you're a very loving person and watch what a loved one or friend or someone you love goes through and then you can only see not feel and thank God for that. You can look fine on the outside and look fine and unfortunately have to put you're happy face on when inside you feel so bad. The pain, all the symptoms and you can be the happiest person in the world, or the strongest person in the world and it still gets depressing sometimes because you never know what each day brings. It's hard to plan ahead of time sometimes because you never know how you're going to feel. But fight the fight and don't let it win. May is Lupus Awareness month and i hope someday soon they find a cure for all these autoimmune diseases or disorders so people can live healthy normal lives without being in pain and all the other things that goes along with it because each person is different. God Bless all who has this nasty disease and may God Bless you and you're families and hang in there and be strong and God is the only one who can perform miracles and i believe in miracles. Amen.
My friend was recently diagnosed-I realized how similar our experiences were. I have Lyme (and an autoimmune disease)-but Lyme cut my whole life off. Can’t tell you how many ppl believed if you don’t look sick-you’re not sick. I see the world differently. Couldn’t relate to my friends and their problems anymore. Had to give up my dream of a certain career. I sincerely hope medicine makes huge leaps in my lifetime. ❤️
Aww my baby💞bless his heart, he's so loving💗🙏🏼
i am just finding this video now. i am a man with lupus and never met a man in person with lupus. They told me 30 years ago we are close to a cure so i wouldnt hold our breathes.
Plot twist, 6 yrs later and doctors still don't know how to treat us.
I sincerely want to thank you Ian for making this video--- you are using your voice to raise awareness and promote research, when Lupus often goes ignored!
Thanks for being on the Lupus Advocacy team!!! We need more voices like you. Those that have experienced the disease through a family member.
@Jenny June Please stop trying to scam chronically I'll people. It's scummy af
Thank you for your fight
Such a big heart❤️
thank you.. god bless you
I lost all my friends because no one believes me and they think I'm just looking for excuses
They are not called friends then and you are better without them :)
Me too. They run away maybe because of fear
Me too even family and dr friends the only person who believes me i's me husband who lives this with me many Irish blessing to all who suffer from this disease
pardon my language, but then they are shit friends for sure! You don't need that negativity in your life!
I'm sorry if they left you that means that they weren't you're true friends to begin with at all. Not to hurt you're feelings but friends wouldn't leave you well or sick either way. Best of wishes to you and God Bless and hope you're doing well.
Thank you for sharing your story! After 10 years since I had the rash on my face I was finally diagnosed. I flare from mold, sugar and processed foods.
I have been battling SLE since 2015. I just don't know how to share it with other people and it seems like no one understands me. Some said I m not sick.Its heartbreaking ...
mai lorenzo I have been battling lupus since 2008, but was not diagnosed until April of 2009....it was hard dealing with it while still in high school at the time...I am 27 now and almost in remission
Benisha McFerrin God Bless You! We hope we could overcome all these.. ❤❤❤
What is sle
@@andreafoxx925 Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is the most common type of lupus. SLE is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing widespread inflammation and tissue damage in the affected organs. It can affect the joints, skin, brain, lungs, kidneys, and blood vessels.

My cousin has this. Trying to learn what it is.💕
Hey guys, I was diagnosed with Lupus SLE 3-4 years ago. Just wanted to let whoever is reading this. It's not the end of the world and to bring a little positivity in this doom and gloom comment section.
If you have lupus. You are now a chef👨🍳 congratulations! Avoid, all vegetable oils except for high quality avacado or olive oil. *DO NOT CONSUME CANOLA OIL AT ALL COSTS* Avoid soy and milk and dont add salt to your foods.
Become an athlete. Take your fitness seriously. Strength train 3x a week and cardio at least once a week.
So life has been pretty pain free for me. The only main con I see is if im in a survival situation and the only food i have is junk food, temporarily i can eat it but after a day id have to resort to eating squirrels, possums and raccoons.
Another con would be restauraunts or any social event. Make sure to ask what oils and most of the time they let you customize the order.
Im also stronger than most of my friends who dont have Lupus. 200lbs can do 10 dead hang pullups in a row full rom. Can run for 15 min straight. I have crazy energy for majority of the day unless I eat a big meal.
Thanks ❤
Vets from the first Gulf War, which I am one and was diagnosed, finally, after 30 years. Case studies show it was due to exposures/environment/vaccine related. Most commonly it's diagnosed as RA or esp Gout, when men have symptoms. You need to get a specific battery of tests. The numbers are growing and shockingly high now.

My male friend has had lupus for 14 years and he's sad and depressed because he says he can't get an errection. And he suspects it's because of the meds he has been taking all these years

Why can’t they come up with a good med for lupus. It’s just so frustrating. A lot of people don’t even believe it’s real. It’s such a horrible diagnosis. You just deal with it day by day. Thanks, Faith
The signs are ridiculous. Very uninformative.
I thought black people were the only ones to get Lupus.
