Happy New Year from down under.

Today I feel in top of the world! Took the dog for a 5km walk this morning and he was more tired than me when we got back :) It's a bit warm right now but I'm off to repot some plants and catch up on some housework. Boring NYE for me as I don't drink and went to bed early. Must have been a few sore heads around as the only other people out walking were the fitness freaks!! Some days it feels great to be alive and I take full advantage of them.

Hope everyone finds their "miracle cure" and has a wonderful 2015.

Thanks to the Admin who keep this site going even when they have erratic posters like me;)

As I post this I am I'm bed. It's midnight and the sound of neighborhood fireworks is going off outside my window. This is how I always celebrate New Years Eve.

But tomorrow morning-- early ( Super early!) - I'll be out walking the dog in the dark with a host of stars overhead which I will marvel while my dog savors the latest smells and catches up with the neighborhood doggie pee mail gossip.

Then it's a pot luck dinner with my Trail Club and a hike at Kanawha State Forest.

Happy

New Year!

Hi ya all. I'm a late joiner from Downunder in NSW. There are many different health issues it seems. So far I am SS sufferer. I'm in my early 70s and my symptoms began about 6 years ago and have progressed bit by bit. One Symptom really disturbs me the most and it is the hair loss. If this continues I will have to get a wig. I am really concerned. My skin has dried up so much too. To make my face feel better I'm applying Lanolin or Nivea all day long, these two products give me the most relief. Luckily for me I am still producing Saliva even though all my mucous membrane is no more! Internally I'm not sure how much damage there is. I wish you all well and a Happy New Year!

Some people on here have the same problem (hair loss) when taking certain drugs. What are you on for APS? I get very dry mouth - it wakes me during the night-and I have a feeling my dentist is financing his next car with my teeth!

Where in NSW are you?
