Welcome to my blog! My name is Jessica Ly and I am the creator of theinflamedvirgo.com. If you know me personally, you know I am actually a very private person. I never thought I would be starting a blog and writing so much about myself, but many things happened along my path in life to inspire this moment.
Since I was a young girl, my main desire in life was to help people in need (like a true Virgo). Growing up, I dreamed of a career in medicine and always had an interest in health. Over the years, there were some unexpected but life-changing events that happened to me. My career plans have since changed and I’m now working in the fashion industry as a stylist, but my desire to make a difference has not. When I was diagnosed with lupus SLE and psoriasis a year ago, things changed once again and I had to rediscover myself. If I had someone else to talk to who had firsthand experience with this illness, it would have made the process so much easier. So I decided to create this blog with these reasons in mind.
The first is to try and help others suffering from invisible chronic illnesses like mine. I am committed to sharing little tips and tricks I’ve learned from my personal experiences that hopefully make a big difference for anyone reading this.
The second is to bring more awareness and insight into what lupus and psoriasis is. Currently, there is no cure for lupus or psoriasis. If I can help spread the message so that more people know about this condition, my hope is that one day we will find a cure.
I want this place to be a source of inspiration and guidance for those who may need it. This is just the beginning for me, so I truly appreciate anyone who is reading this. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to message me using the contact page or on a specific post. I look forward to hearing your feedback and am always open to suggestions!
