Young sufferers?

[Becks93]

I haven't really met anybody a similar age with this condition.

I'm 19, and have been "diagnosed" for just under a year. It would be great to meet others of a similar age with lupus!

I haven't been diagnosed yet but I am 23. I know another on here who is 19 and has been diagnosed. Take care xxx

Hi Becks93, I've just turned 22 and I was diagnosed when I was 20-21 so hello there!

Hello everyone! I am 31 years old, I am not actually 'young' but I was diagnosed with SLE when I was 15 years old.

Hope you are all well

Hi,

I was diagnosed age 15....31 now. If you subscribe to 'NEWS & VIEWS' the Lupus mag then at the back you will find a young persons telephone contact.
