LUPUS & GROUND TURTLES
Kindly please let me know if the ground turtles as mascots, give some risk for persons with Lupus diagnostic.
I have a turtle that my husband found in our home yard about six years ago, for all these years I'm the person that take care of her in a daily basis, given her meal and change the water in her aquarium twice a day, because she needs at least 2 inches of water around her to feel more confortable and happy.
I am a diabetic woman for the last 15 years and a week ago my NAN test gave positive with Lupus, I appreciate your response as soon as possible.
Thanks for your attention,
Gladys Ruiz
