I wanted to join this group just to meet people in the same situation as me. I know I don't have major symptoms; I mainly suffer from joint pain. I just wanted to see how other people deal with this on a daily basis and meet people similar to me.

My name is Eva and I've had lupus for l5 years. What type of lupus does your aunt have Krystle? There are many types of lupus and different ways to treat it. I have pheripheral and central nervous system lupus. I can't be in the sun because I get the malar rash and I also can't be under artifical lights. I wear sunblock every day to protect myself. You can get all kinds of information regarding the different types of lupus on the internet. Its also important that she has a good rheumatolotist. Please keep in touch. You'll be in my prayers.
