Keeping Up ...

Not sure if you guys still watch “Keeping up with the Kardashians” but it’s back with Season 17!

Friggin 17!

I’m sorry, but it’s a true guilty pleasure of mine. Pretty positive I’m not alone. 👀

But anyway, Season 17, Episode 1 starts out with Kim complaining about sore hands, wrists and feeling tired. So, she almost thinks that she might be pregnant!! Until she takes a test and it comes back negative. As the episode goes on, she wakes up one morning and her hands are swollen. She makes a doctors appointment and they do her blood work, no results. (This scene was a little odd because my blood work came back that same day, but this is also a reality show and you have to make the edits really good to keep your audience wanting more.) After the commercial break Kim is on the phone and you can hear her doctor say “Your Antibodies are showing positive for Lupus.” With Kim responding with “I don’t know what that means!” Same Kim same!!!

That was my exact reaction sitting on that bed and the doctor coming back and saying you have Lupus! “Well what the hell is that!?”

If you didn’t know, some of your other fav celebs also have Lupus. Nick Cannon, Toni “The” Braxton and Selena Gomez to name a few - but to know that Kim Kardashian might have Lupus blew my mind. It made me realize these diseases pick whoever they want and if you don’t go get checked out as soon as you feel these uneasy symptoms, it might be too late.

Later in the episode the doctor tells Kim that blood test can have false positives and they will do another one along with ultrasounds of her hands and joints.  So I guess we shall wait to see if it gets brought back up in the next episode or later in the season. 

Whatever they decide to edit in or out I’m pretty happy the awareness of Lupus is getting out there!
