I've only had Lupus for 6 years and most of them have been trouble free but I am currently having a few problems! Blackpool is my home town, but I now live a bit further away in Morecambe. Though I no longer live there I do still have family around the area. Oh, and your English is much better than my Dutch will ever be!!!
Thank you so much voor your answer back...I would like to keep in contact with you, if you also would like that! My Family is coming over soon, I miss them Loads..They stay here for 2 and 3 weeks..My Parents are staying for 3 weeks, and my Nephew and second Mum staying for 2 weeks.. Its also soon my Birthday and wedding day.. I am Married on my Birthday!! At this moment I dont have really any problem, Living in Blackpool at the Seaside is the best thing I ever have done.. I feel a lot better with the fressair...
Dutch its a lot harder to learn, thats for sure..I hope to hear from you again, and ps I dont know where Morecample is!! Never hear from it befor...Well better late then Never... xxTake Care, Greetz Linda
Hi Linda, well Morecambe is not far up the coast from Blackpool. It isn't as lively as Blackpool, it's a lot quieter but that suites me fine at this stage in my life! Until 3 years ago I used to live a lot further away from my family and only saw them a couple of times a year so I understand the importance of seeing them and I hope you all have a brilliant time together. Congratulations of your marriage, hope you have a fantastic day! Take care, Angela xx

Hello Lovelylin, i'm also new to this site. I live in Durham NE England, I was diagnosed with Lupus when I was 23, but my symptoms started in my early teens, They found I had MVP with a heart murmur at age 11. Was due for open heart at 23,due to fluid around my heart that was collapsing my left ventrical. But only had a 15% chance of making it off the table, so they said we'll wait for you to have a heart attack then fix it. anyway its been a long haul. I'm also away from my family,I'm originally from NY but moved to the UK with my son in 2005. I'm also looking for friends.
I have mild lupus, but a test came back high MVP just the other day..Its around christmas time and Im outta town so this one is a little scary...I dont understand that test...everything else seems ok right now..i have also had hypothyroid stuff for many years..its been up/down...I havent been called yet by doc...im in canada now ,we have a thing where u can see ur results online...
