Archive link: Green MP Tamatha Paul on living with lupus and arthritis while serving in Parliament
Pretty inspiring that she’s achieved so much despite her chronic health conditions. It’s also refreshing to see honesty about needing to properly rest to avoid burnout. Too often we see gung-ho statements from people about pushing through and remaining busy.
Interesting article, thanks for posting! I have to say, with the joke about House always thinking it’s lupus when it’s not, I had assumed it was super rare. But this says 1 in 900 in NZ, which is thousands of people just in NZ.
