Five years ago, Beatrice Awange, 40, found herself swallowing 42 tablets daily to manage lupus, a disease she didn't even know much about prior to her diagnosis. She shares her experience with KURIA WANJIRU.

The only time other time I had ever been hospitalised in my life was when I gave birth to my two children through caesarian sections. But since five years ago, hospitals have become familiar places.
