new to Lupus if that's what it is... love to share with anyone local,

[Nickle]

Hi, I’m new to Lupus and all that goes with it, I’ve been on the roller coaster of diagnosis for the past year and they still haven't decided, but they have decided enough for me to trial hydroxy' and I started 2 months ago, I think I might be feeling better but not sure, I’ll give it another few months, but had a tough year with spontaneous idiopathic urticaria, which the allergist didn’t think was linked, but I and my rheumy did !!! Medical professionals eh!! it took them 5 months to get it under control, with me having sever reactions about 2-3 times a week, which was draining, but now I’ve gone through all the meds the last in a long line worked.

I love to meet or chat with anyone local, as I find email and blogs useful but nothing beats face to face, please message me or reply if anyone is local.

Hope you all have a happy Christmas

Hi Nickle,

Perhaps you'd like to get in touch with the Western lupus group? I'm now going to send you a message with the group contact details.
