Hello!

[MarkJT]

I'm new here and looking forward to learning more about how I can live with lupus. I have support from my family but it'd be nice to share experiences with fellow sufferers.

Best wishes.

Mark.

Hi. I have SS the little sister of lupus but many symptoms some piddling and some #@&£@#?*. You know the usual things like skin problems in my case vasculitis, lymphocytic infiltration and photosensitivity. Lungs and abdominal problems and at times a list to long to go into.

Anyway hi and welcome, don't be shy about asking anything and if and when you need to vent don't be shy.

Hi there. This is a good forum with lots of friendly people & plenty of advice. I would also highly recommend that you join Lupus UK - it's only £10 per year & for that you get a quarterly magazine that is very informative & full of news about other Lupies & articles by all kinds of experts. The staff at National Office are an amazing group of people who are always happy to help answer any questions you may have. The magazine also contains lots of useful contact numbers. Good luck.
