New Lupie

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cheryl, I tried this thing before a couple of days ago, but

I don't think it worked, I didn't do something right, so I will try it

again.

I am really new at this lupus thing, I am fortunate though, and I

haven't had the terrible problems that I have read that you guys have.

I was diagnosed about 1.5 months ago, am taking Plaquenil, and am doing

all of the research and reading I can get my hands on. I have all kinds

of problems, and am not even sure which ones are due to lupus, or if

they aren't! But, I am starting to think that they may ALL be linked to

lupus. I don't go and see my rheumatologist until next month, so I have

started a list of questions for him and it is growing by the day!

I have ovarian failure, protein in my urine, terrible gastrointestinal

problems, constant joint and muscle pain, and am on an antidepressant.

I said I was fortunate earlier, didn't I? ;-) I really am, especially

after reading your e-mails.

I will type my particulars once I know that this works. In the

meantime, I am sure enjoying reading about all of you, it does brighten

my day to know you guys are out there, as I don't know anything about,

or anyone who has, lupus.

Thanks!
