Breast cancer suvivor Chhavi Mittal on having Lupus rash, says doctors are failing at advising
For the unversed, Lupus is an auto-immune disease and appears as a rash on your body and can keep flaring up on your neck, face, arms and legs. While there are medicines to reduce the inflammation, in some cases, like Chavvi, one needs to be steroids too.
She is an actor, content creator, gym freak, mother of two, a TedX speaker and most importantly, Chavvi Mittal is a breast cancer survivor. The woman has always been fierce, fearless and let her fans know about her life updates, good, bad, ugly. Today is no different. Chavvi spoke about Lupus rash (SLE) that she has been dealing with.

Taking to Instagram, Chavvi wrote, " My lupus (SLE) rash has been coming back and even though I¡¯m not one to be daunted by it, it does feel frustrating that i cannot put my finger on what causes these flare ups, which invariably leave a white, de-pigmented mark. I have a 100 of these on my body now (face, neck, back, arms, chest, stomach) with no clue as to what I¡¯m doing wrong or what i should do to correct it. Doctors are failing at advising. Alternate medicine has failed. I¡¯m back to steroids but as of now.. no improvement. There are flare ups, n then it¡¯s peaceful, until there are new flare ups again."
Along with the post, Chavvi shared a picture of her smiling and posing. The reason behind this post was to motivate people who are demotivated, unhappy or injured, to tell them that despite all odds. one should always count their blessings.
She writes, " The reason why I¡¯m sharing this is so you remember, even though in life, there are always things that seem to go wrong.. we still need to continue counting our blessings. My toe injury is not a fracture, my back ache is under control, professionally there are too many exciting things happening, my kids are amazing, and I¡¯m surrounded by people who love me. Lupus¡? Ki maa ki ?? #ilovemylife P.S. all those who troll me for my choice of gym wear.. that¡¯s exactly what it is.. MY CHOICE. "
