you will always find some one to share& make friends with.

There is also Lupus U/K and they can put you in touch with your local Lupus Group.and also if your daughter would like to speak to some one of her age group Lupus can supply that.

Untill next time

Hi Kathy this is a really good site, and you should try what Janiceray said but also if your daughter wants to chat maybe she could join lupus is real, it on facebook its a closed group but she can be added by Dawn who set it up. There are young people on there and that may also be helpful for her and you. Good Luck, take care, Mandy x

Hi Kathy

I joined Lupus is real group on facebook. There are other sufferers of Lupus who are members of the same age as you Daughter. You can join as well. My wife and sister have as they want to learn more about SLE to understand what I am going through. Give it a try. It has helped me to speak to others about how I am feeling and made my family more aware of the condition. John XXX

Hi Kathy43.

Sorry to hear that your daughter has Lupus too. There are a few groups on FB about Lupus. Lupus UK, St. Thomas' Lupus Trust, etc. You'll find them all very friendly & informative places.

I was diagnosed at 17 and found a lot of help from such groups. Having been a teen with this condition I can understand that she doesn't want to talk. I spent many a day not talking to anyone but this didn't mean I didn't want or need help or that I didn't love the people around me very much.

Needless to say I am not 17 anymore but I am still going in spite of the Lupus.

All the best to you & your daughter.
