Upon diagnosis Winnie discovered that she had systemic lupus erythematosus

In 2014, Winnie Opondo began experiencing numbness. Sometimes her feet and hands would get so cold and walking became a laborious task. She would check herself into the hospital but she would be diagnosed with various infections. Still, the symptoms persisted. 

“I was treated for bacterial infections for a long time and took different types of antibiotics with no respite,” she says.
