• Uphengululo lwe

U-Selena Gomez ebehleli ngaphandle kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zidlulileyo, kodwa hayi ukuba likhoboka leziyobisi, njengoko amanye amaziko eendaba ebanga njalo. "Ndafunyaniswa ukuba ndine-lupus, kwaye ndiye ndasebenzisa i-chemotherapy. Yiloo nto ikhefu lam laliyiyo," uGomez utyhile Ibhodi yezaziso.

Iintliziyo zethu ziya kumculi. Ukufunyaniswa ukuba unesifo sobomi bonke usemncinci kunokuba nzima-kwaye ngelishwa, kwenzeka ngaphezu kokuba ucinga, utshilo uJill Buyon, M.D., umlawuli we-NYU Langone Lupus Centre. Ngaphandle kwembali yosapho, awona mngcipheko mkhulu we-lupus ngawasetyhini, kwiminyaka yobudala yokuzala (i-15 ukuya kwengama-44), kunye neqaqobana, elimnyama okanye iSpanishi-kunye no-Selena Gomez badibana nazo zonke ezi zinto," utshilo.

Yintoni iLupus?

I-Lupus Foundation yaseMelika iqikelela ukuba i-1.5 yezigidi zaseMelika zineendlela ezithile zelupus. Nangona kunjalo, baxela ukuba iipesenti ezingama-72 zabantu baseMelika bazi okuncinci okanye akukho nto malunga nesi sifo ngaphaya kwegama-nto leyo ephazamisa kakhulu kuba abo bavotelwayo babephakathi kwe-18 kunye ne-34, iqela elisengozini enkulu. (Fumanisa ukuba kutheni izifo ezingabona babulali baninzi ziqwalaselwa.)

I-Lupus sisifo esizimelayo, esithetha ukuba ii-antibodies zakho-ezinoxanduva lokulwa nosulelo olufana neentsholongwane-ziyadideka kwaye ziqale ukubona iiseli zakho zobuqu njengabahlaseli bangaphandle. Oku kubangela ukudumba kwaye, kwilupus, ukonakala kumalungu amaninzi emzimbeni wakho. Malunga nokuba kutheni ii-antibodies zakho zidideka, ewe, ngumbuzo wophando osisigidi.

Ngenxa yokuba i-lupus ixhaphake kakhulu kumanenekazi, ekuqaleni, abaphandi bacinga ukuba inento yokwenza ne-chromosome "X" okanye i-estrogen. Kodwa ngelixa ezo zombini zinokudlala indima kwesi sifo, ayinguye yedwa onetyala. "Kusenokwenzeka ukuba zininzi izinto ezahlukileyo-ihomoni, imfuza, okusingqongileyo-, ngasizathu sithile, zonke ziyawa xa ufikelele kweli banga," ucacisa uBuyon. (Ngaba inyanga yakho yokuzalwa iyayichaphazela ingozi yesifo sakho?)

Wazi Njani Ukuba Unayo?

Ngenxa yokuba uhlaselo lwe-lupus luninzi lwamalungu kunye neenkqubo ezahlukeneyo, kunzima kakhulu ukuluxilonga, utshilo uBuyon. Ngapha koko, kuthabatha phantse iminyaka emithandathu kwaye sitshintshe oogqirha ubuncinci amaxesha amane, ngokomndilili, ukuba umntu one-lupus afunyaniswe kususela kwixesha abaqala ngalo ukuqaphela uphawu, ngokwe-Lupus Foundation yaseMelika. Kodwa kuhle ukwazi ukuba ujonge phi: Ukongeza kwezi zinto zintathu zomngcipheko sele sizikhankanyile, ama-20 ekhulwini abantu abanelupus banomzali okanye umntakwenu onesi sifo (nangona sisenokungafunyaniswanga).

Ezinye zeempawu ezicace gca kukutyikityha kwebhabhathane elityikityiweyo ebusweni bakho (uBuyon uthi abanye abantu bakuchaza oku njengokujongeka ngathi benzakaliswe yibhere), iintlungu ezidibeneyo kunye nokudumba, kunye nokuxhuzula. Kodwa kukwakho neempawu ezichuliweyo ezinje ngobushushu belanga (kunye nokukhanya okunganyanzelekanga ngamanye amaxesha!), Izilonda zomlomo ezingenazintlungu, kunye nokungaqheleki kwegazi. Kwaye kufuneka ubeneempawu ezine kwezili-11 ezinokubakho. Icala elisezantsi: Ngenxa yokuba uninzi lweempawu zilunga phantsi kwesambulela se-lupus, uninzi lwabantu aluchanekanga kwesi sifo ngokunjalo. (UGomez, nangona kunjalo, sele efumana i-chemo ngoko ke mhlawumbi unayo, uBuyon wongeza.)

Iba nefuthe njani kubomi bomntu?

"Kukho ukungaqiniseki okukhulu nge-lupus malunga nokuba uzakuziva njani ngomso-yeyona nto inkulu yesi sifo," uchaza uBuyon. Kukho ithuba lokuba uvuke nebhabhathane irhashalala ebusweni bakho ngomhla womtshato wakho. Kwaye ungenza izicwangciso zobusuku bamantombazana, kodwa ukuba amalungu akho abuhlungu, awuzukufuna ukuya kudanisa (ethi, ukuba yenye yeempawu zakhe, ngokungathandabuzekiyo iya kuba nefuthe kuGomez njengomdlali, nokuba uluntu luyayibona okanye hayi). Ungatshiswa lilanga ngokungxama ngolunye usuku lwasehlotyeni, kodwa emva koko ungaphinde ube namava alo okwexeshana.

Uyabona, i-lupus inokuthi iye kuxolelo. Ngenxa yoku-kunye neempawu ezininzi-kubalulekile ukuba ukhumbule iingxaki ezikhutshelwa ngokulula kwaye wazi imbali yosapho, utshilo uBuyon. Kwaye ngelixa ungazinyanga iimpawu zethutyana kunye namayeza kunye neerejimeni (njenge-chemo yedosi esezantsi eyenziwe), i-lupus ayinyangeki.

Ewe kunjalo, oogqirha nabaphandi basebenzela kuyo yonke imihla. ILupus Foundation yaseMelika isebenza nabaphandi abafuna unyango (unganikela apha) kunye nabantu bokwenyani abanesifo, njengoGomez. Ngethemba lokuba ngenye imini, siya kuba nezimpendulo ezininzi.
