feels good to talk

[tini44]

Hi came across this site last night it feels comforting to know there is people out there who understand how i feel. I got cutaneous lupus, fibromyalgia osteoarthritis endometriosis and Renaults phenomenon and on plenty of meds. My GP is great when you can get an appointment with him! I am under dermatology but rheumatology doesn't want to know.(diagnosed and a leaflet got told to read up about it). Not feeling good lately.Sometimes it all feels to much.

Hello and welcome! You've found a good place, full of support, friendship, and understanding. Just having the forum often makes me feel better on a bad day.

Hi Tini and welcome. Like you I am under care of dermo and Rheumy doesn't seem to want to know. So I know how you feel. You'll find some good support here and hopefully get some comfort that you're not alone! 👊

Thank you for your comments it feels strange to talk on here, only ever speak to my husband about things .Actually feeling a bit relieved talking to people who understand what I am on about.(He is very good, but at times he does finds it hard too and then I end up not telling him everything.) It has actually helped me today felt tearful and hopeless, not anymore xxx
