Hello all!

[Linds70]

I just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. 👋

I have been a member of Lupus uk since 1995 and have enjoyed the rollercoaster ride that is Lupus for nearly 30 years.

I always meant to join this group but never really had the time or the confidence to”put myself out there. “

Feeling brave - so hello!

Hi Linds70Welcome to this very lovely group.

I was diagnosed in 2020 with Lupus SLE and have found it very difficult to cope with, this group have been amazing with advice. They are very kind and warm people. I have learnt more about my condition from these lovely people than the hospital.

Big hugs to you 🤗

Hi linds70, welcome to the group, you’ll find people pop in and out of the forum. I don’t ask questions very much or join in Conversations but always read what others have to say. I’ve learnt lots of tips of others and conditions that I didn’t even realise existed! 😊

[Linds70 in reply to Chris21]

That’s good to hear. Thanks for the info. 🤗

welcome to this lovely caring supportive group 🤗. Feel free to post any super cute pics (especially of furry animals ) 😉. Don’t ever hesitate to post questions on here as there is always someone who will know the answer or point you in right direction !

But I expect you know more than most drs about lupus so you’ll be answering our questions ! xxxx

[Linds70 in reply to Tiggywoos]

I’m not so sure that I have all the answers, but I’ve certainly had a lot of experience of living with Lupus. Thanks for your kind welcome. 🤗
