So much stomach pain, and the joint pain and, I can just go on and on, so much I am going through and I have no dr or insurance, and I just want a friend who's going through the same things, and a lot of it I do not know about or understand, please contact me back, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart...Alfie

'Use a noun!' is my husband's most common phrase these days - he knows I just can't remember words sometimes (and me a writer and publisher!) and it's *so* frustrating for both of us. Alfie, sounds like you need someone to talk to who's going to understand this hateful disease - this forum's great at that too as we're all going through variants of the same thing. But it also sounds like you definitely need a medic - where are you? And you might find books like Talking About Lupus by Triona Holden useful. GrandmaCarol's right too: rest up, and don't try to do too much. It sounds trite, but there will be good days and I think we all live for them! Hang on in there. Jo
