My name is Samantha Boothe and I have been creating advocacy videos on KZread since 2009. This channel was formerly known as Live Hope Lupus and was created in order to start a community for those living with chronic illnesses. In September 2019, I transitioned to a plant-based diet and I have found my body is responding well to it. Along with my lifestyle change, I am learning to alter my focus more on the positive. My current content will focus on my healing journey, what food I am eating, and everyday life. I will still be posting an occasional update about my health. I hope you all are ready to join me on this crazy journey of healing. We are all learning how to navigate this life together. If you have subscribed, thank you! I appreciate your support and look forward to talking with you all in the comments.

    Hi Samantha - congratulations!!!! I recently came across your channel and love how open and transparent you are about your chronic illness. I suffer from chronic insomnia which has affected many, if not every, aspect of my life and I was really scared of becoming pregnant due to the fear of getting worse/making a mistake. However, I, too, am currently pregnant despite these fears and I love seeing people trying to live their values regardless of what they're going through. Sending you lots of love and support!

    Congratulations! I've been watching your videos since I was a teenager (over 10 years now!) , and back then you put me at ease knowing someone with a similar age also dealing with the daily struggles of lupus nephritis. Just a little supporter on the other side of the world in Australia! Recently had a baby who is now 4 months old, and I can say the pregnancy was great. Postpartum, my levels have dropped even further. I wish the same outcome for you! Best wishes with your pregnancy, you'll do amazing x

    ​@HealWithSamantha I suggest taking a 81mg aspirin to prevent pre-eclampsia. Lupus patients are higher risk for it. Talk to your doctor.

    Congratulations! Praying you are healthy throughout your pregnancy and that baby is healthy as well! I have two miracle babies through having Lupus! Both very different experiences - one was a healthy and in remission pregnancy and delivery, the other was very active lupus and emergency c-section with a preemie baby. I developed HELLP syndrome and pre-eclampsia. My high risk OB didnt catch it, but my lupus doctor did. Be aware of your body and take care of yourself. Congratulations! 🎉❤

    Hi Samantha. Congratulations. I hope you will have a healthy child and live a healthy life with her/him for many years. My mother has idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia. I wonder how your intestines work. Have you had tests for intestinal permeability? Do you have chronic diarrhea or constipation? Do you have vitamin D deficiency? As far as I have learned, all autoimmune diseases are caused by regulatory T cell deficiency. Have you had this tested?

    The most important factor that triggers autoimmune diseases is infection. That's why you should get enough antioxidants daily. This is really important. Free radicals circulating in your body can cause infection in the body. Free radicals can be cleared with antioxidants.

    I have many questions. I basically gave up on the idea of ever having kids since being diagnosed with lupus Nephritis in 2021. Im still on prednisone and Mycophenolate and know that it causes birth defects. Besides that even way down the line when im finally off my medication how will having a baby not send me into a masive flare?... Im sorry i dont wanna be a downer here, what you have is a miricle. I just have many questions. I trust you know what youre doing and i hope everything goes as smooth as possible for you.

    It took a while for me to feel I was in a good space to even think about having children. For awhile, I didn't think it would happen for me. I am now 23 weeks and both myself and baby are doing well. I actually feel great currently but I am worried about post labor. I stopped Cellcept 8+ months before conceiving. I'll try and share more in upcoming videos to hopefully answer everyones questions.
