 Hey guys, I just found this site and figured I would introduce myself. I'm Kaitlan, 29 and recently moved from Florida to Denver, Colorado to be closer to family. I was diagnosed with SLE and sjogren's 5 years ago. I was recently hospitalized with a supected mini stroke (waiting for test results on Wed.) which was pretty scary but I'm feeling a bit better now. I look forward to meeting all of you.

*gentle hugs*

 My prayers are with you. I suffered a brain hemrraghe in August of this year- which at first they thought it was a stroke and decided that it wasn't. I saw a neurosurgeon and he said it was a hemorraghe due to the central nervous system lupus that I have. I was also pretty scared but now I am feeling better. My 26 year old son and 22 year old daughter and my husband took care of me. Lots of hugs, mumeva -Eva
