Guest guest Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hi, my name is Cheryl too. I am 57 and have had lupus since a teen but went undiagnosed for many years. I now have lupus, fibromyalgia, arthritis, osteoarthritis, interstitial cystitis, degenerative disk disease, cognitive dysfunction (brain fog), IBS, depression, and something I can’t remember. I am a survivor of cancer and a brain hemorrhage. I am on permanent disability. I used to be a sales rep to large and small businesses when I only had lupus and IBS. Welcome aboard. This is a good place. Ask questions, laugh, whine, cry, whatever, oh, don’t forget the jokes. From: Cheryl Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 1:23 PM To: LUPIES Subject: New Lupie Hello Fellow Lupies! Thank you for the wonderful e-mails of support. I am so new at this and am not sure what is going on with my body. I was just diagnosed about 1.5 months ago. I am taking Plaquenil, but am in such pain, and the brain fog/dizziness/fatigue is almost unbearable. First of all, a little background. I am 40 years old, I have a wonderful husband and soon-to-be-15-year-old son (he has to share his birthday with his Mom on Mother's Day this year, but is SO excited about getting his learner's permit). We live in Woodstock, Georgia, about 20 miles northwest of Atlanta. We have 2 great dogs, Keeshonds, that are like our children. I work for our county school system, and have a fabulous team of co-workers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
