Introducing Myself

Hi, I first had a DVT in 2007 followed by having a stent fitted. Then in 2012, I had two heart attacks the second one was massive and almost killed me, but I'm still here. I have heart failure too and have also been chronically ill with Sjogren's Syndrome , Fibromyalgia and two of my Specialists have said I also have Lupus although others I have seen describe it as Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, but whatever they are all pretty similar in that they affect the immune system and definitely affect your quality of life.

It's nice to connect with everyone.
