 Hi,

I was reading your profile and I turned 50 this year. I have central nervous sytstem lupus vasculitis. It will be a year tomorrow that I had my first brain hemorrhage and I had my second one January of this year. I was sent to a neurologist and a neurosurgeon who along with my rheumatologist said it was due to my lupus. I also get the brain fog and of course vertigo and the horrible lupus headaches which I got this past Friday Ugh!!. You will find alot of great support on this site along with great people. Take Care,

Eva

 Hi Kathy - I'm a new member as well. I have had SLE for about 17 years, so it would appear that I would this illness handled but it manages to surprise me continuously. I hope that this support group can help me get through those surprises and that I in turn can support anyone through their rough times. I would love to share the good stuff too!

Keep smiling!

 There are a lot of nice people here. I was diagnosed almost 30 years ago. (Man, am I getting old) It has only been in the last 8 or 9 years that I have had problems. I hope you post often.

 Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I look forward to chatting with you all, comparing notes and helping one another get through this illness with as much grace as we can muster. I personally know no one else with Lupus and most of my friends are just confused by the changes I am going through. My very best friend who would have stood by my side regardless died suddenly right before I was diagnosed so I cannot tell you how much your friendship and support mean to me.

Kathy
