Hi All

I started with health issues in the 1980's but struggled to get and definite diagnosis. This changed when I was sent to a Guys and St Thomas'. They diagnosed me with Lupus and Sjogrens Syndrome. More recently diagnosed with Dermatomyositis.

I have had a lot of falls, overbalance and get shaky. I get sore hands with red lumps and skin redness. I also have Chronic Kidney Disease. I wondered if anyone gets similar symptoms.

Thank you
