[Guest guest]

Hi, Welcome Barbara

For someone who doesn't know what to do, you did everything

right! Glad to have you aboard! I am 57 and have had lupus since a teen but

went undiagnosed until my 40's. I am now 57 and have fibromyalgia, arthritis,

degenerative disk disease, TMJ dysfunction, cognitive disfunction (lupus fog)

osteoarthritis, interstitial cystitis, depression and I

probably forgot something else. I am a cancer surviver and had a brain hemorrage

with several

seziours. I am on permenate disability. I used to work part

time when I just had lupus. I have a husband who has mental trouble. He is

bipolar. We have problem because of it. He is a good, faithful man who works

hard. He tries his best but does some nutty things. He is on new meds now and

has been hullicaniting sometimes. He is getting used to the meds now and does

it less. He is pretty stoned at night. He is much better relaxed than

nervous and hyper like before. Our kids are grown and gone,

living out of state.

Hi everyone,

My nane is Barbara, and I am very knew to all of this.

I was diagnosed in 2002 after 2 years of going from doctor to doctor! I'm

42 and have 3 children, a husband, and a dog. My husband is and we

have been married for 11 years, this is my second marriage. We don't have

any children together, but we have them from previous relationships. I

have 2 sons, 17 and Mikey 14 and a stepdaughter, Mandi 18 and of course my

baby, Sable ( the dog). We live in Illinois.

As I started saying I am very knew to this, I have never been in a suport

just wanted to introduce myself. And say hello!!!!

Barbara
