Guest guest Posted May 14, 2004 Report Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hello, My name is . I am 43, happily married and have had connective tissue disease since 1990. I have over lapping symptoms of Lupus, RA, and Sjogrens. I am disabled due three failed spinal surgeries, spinal stenosis, failed back syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic back pain. I have one sister with Lupus and one sister with RA. Luckily my brother does not have any connective tissue disease. I was approved for SSD two weeks after they sent me to see their doc. That was three and a half years ago. My wife is a psychotherapist in private practice. We live in upstate NY and are proudly owned by five cats and a nutty Jack Terrier. I am on numerous medications, but am not currently on anything for the Lupus as I had surgery a couple of months ago. My rheumy is starting me on injectable Methotrexate soon and wants to make sure that I am well healed first. I am hoping I have a better reaction to the Methotrexate than my sister. It made her very ill. I was on Plaquenil for quite sometime, but I developed an allergy to it. This seems like a great list. Thank you. Blessings, Upstate New York "Slip inside the eye of your mind.
