How I Stay Active While Managing My Lupus

Living in this pandemic has made it hard for me to work out regularly even though I know it’s best to stay active. It seems like we have time to do more things now, but I’m still working from home 5 days a week and have to wake up earlier to squeeze in that time. …

How I Balance Life with 2 Different Autoimmune Disorders

I’ve always had issues with my skin, so when I found out that I was diagnosed with psoriasis, my first thought was “Crap, now I definitely will never have the perfect skin that I’ve always wanted”.

About Me

Hello! I'm Jessica Ly
Hello! I'm Jessica Ly

I'm a 30 year old Cambodian-American living in Las Vegas, NV. As a Virgo (sun and rising), I am naturally driven to serve others and provide a sense of stability in life. Through this blog, you will find helpful tips I've learned in the past few years of my autoimmune journey. When I was experiencing some of my hardest moments in life, I would have loved to have a trusted resource like this to help me get through it. Developing autoimmune disorders is not something you expect to get in life, especially in your 20s, but it is something you can learn to live with. I am a peaceful warrior and I hope to inspire others to become their best selves and never give up the fight.
