Jacquie Achu, a victim of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, an inflammatory disease occasioned by the immune system attacking its own tissues, has revealed her horrible trauma from the ailment.
The UK-based Nigerian revealed that she actually did her own funeral and bought her grave in preparation for death following clinical pronouncement she had only three days to live after she was diagnosed with Lupus in 2003.
She shared this startling experience with the media during a walk against Lupus organised by Arise Monalisa Foundation and Everight Diagnostic Centre in Abuja as part of activities to mark World Lupus Day.
