Hi, shonabrown1956,
You sound like my kinda gal. Me = 58, 6'1", blue eyes, own walking stick and tablet dispenser, gsoh. Keep in touch?
Greetings. I'm from Australia too.
Welcome.
I only drop in here occasionally - the people here are great - its a good site.
On top of everything else !!!. Have you been tested for sticky blood. Antiphospholipid antibody (Hughes syndome) ? It can go with Lupus and can cause strokes.
I take small dose aspirin for it.

Hi! I'm 61 and live in Australia 🇦🇺 too.
And have many of your dx as well.
You can feel safe on this forum, everyone is gentle and the admin staff are very supportive.
Glass half full... good for you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃, the only way to stay sane!

Welcome!
I could have your name too!
Thank you 🙈🙉🙊
Welcome Shona - your positivity shines through ⭐️
I'm feeling quite overwhelmed with all the good will. So many people welcoming me to the site. It's so nice to have people that are in the same boat. If I tell someone that I have Lupus they go cross-eyed, and say what's that. This site has everything!
Happy Happy🙉🙈🙊 x
