I am new to this group, not sure how to navigate around yet so please bear with me!

I was diagnosed with lupus 3.5 years ago and am feeling a bit lonely as i dont know anyone else who has it, so looking for some support and ongoing information.

Thanks

Have a beautiful day,

Welcome to our support group. I will be 50 (yikes) this year. I've had lupus for about 15 years now. I take one day at a time. I have central nervous system lupus. I still see my rheumatologist once a month. She keeps me in check. How do you do with sun? I'm very sensitive to sun and fluroescent lights. I wear sunblock every single day (70 plus) even when its cloudy outside. There are alot of people on this sight that are very good to talk to. Talk to you soon

Lots of hugs,

Eva

You've come to the right place for support. Everyone one here is very caring, offering comfort and support.

There aren't a whole lot of people in the Lupus support group yet. But I'm optimisitic as more people learn about it, they will come.

If you have any other things going on, you might check out those support groups as well. I joined the Fibro, Lupus, Depression, and a couple of chronic pain support groups.

Once again welcome! Keep us informed on how you're doing, ask questions, share info, or vent if you want. We're all here together.

Take Care!

Thanks for the welcomes, its nice to feel part of the group, i think its hard for my family to really understand whats going on, so decided to look for support elsewhere.

Eva, the sun doesnt affect me too badly, but, then again, ive never been a sun worshiper, even though i live in the sunchine state i spend most of my time indoors or in the car!

good job i dont like sunbathing huh???
