Like i said be for ive had lupus for 30 years. And at 1st doctor's did other test but not a lupus test. It took over 20 year. Then i got lucky because my doctor was away. And the stand picked it up. By that time i was very poorly. And ive been lucky it's not played untill 2 month ago. It's because i am getting older. And ive other health issues has wll. I try and eat a healthy diet. I do not smoke. But now and agiain i have a small glass of wine. And soon will be ging swimming which will help. I get very tied. So in the after noon i take a nap. I all so get very bad headache. And all so get the butterfly rash when i not well. This last 2 weeks ive not been well. So i been under going test. I hate it. It's nice to talk to some one that has lupus. I find it hard to talk to people who do's not have lupus. They just don't know what we go through. That's why i joined the lupus group. To to people who has lupus.

Thank you for your e mail. It took me over 20 years to be told i had lupus. I got very lucky one day. Becase my doctor was a away and the stand in doctor took the blood test for lupus. I get very bad headache all so get very tied. And all so i get the rush on my face. Some day's i just stay in bed and try to rest. I soon will be tring out a hot tub. To see if that would help.

Hi Mybe

Great to meet you ! I ve had lupus for a long time to ! And I really hate it although have managed to actually start coming down on some of my meds now . Although it has not been easy .Sounds to me you are doing really well with knitting and Sewing .(my fingers aren’t great at having to mend my clothes sometimes as you have to.) Dreams are good always dream it can only be good! I’m so sorry your having headaches and do make sure you check in with yr doc about that? I’m relatively shy so that’s no problem at all. We are all here to help each other so keep writing! Take care and look after yourself! 😊
