Hello I am new to the group

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Golanv in English it means Raven. I am a 44

year old American Indian married to a wonderful guy

and have a sweet daughter who is 14. I recently had

doctors say they are pretty sure I have lupus. I have

been having problems they decribed as a mixed

connective tissue disorder for a few years. I have had

Raynaud's disease for years. I had a foot surgery that

landed me with Reflex Sympathetic Dysthrophy (or

Complex pain Syndrone) in 1991. I am very flustrated

with the deteriation of my health at such a young age.

I'm stuggling to keep up a good front for my family

but failing at it. I get irritable and a bear to live

with at times. Recently I broke down and expressed I

needed help keeping house so my husband is spending

one day on the weekend cleaning and helping me. My

daughter bless her heart has always been lazy and

hates house work. Me being a clean freak and not able

to do it is driving me nuts lol. I'm a registered

nurse on disablity and miss being able to help others.

From the post I can see many are going through similar

problems. I appreciate you all letting me join the

list and look forward to getting to know everyone.

Thanks =)
