Probably yes: Lupus is widely variable in its severity and the most important single factor is that you already have a rheumatologist who you identify as your own. It is far more manageable than it was in the past, though it can still be very difficult; you'll need to become accustomed to feeling sicker than you appear, and others can be cruel or tactless. Good luck.
