Hi everyone . I am new to this group. I live in Memphis, TN and I attend college. I had lupus/ Mixed Connective Tissue disease and several other chronic illnesses for 13 years. Yes that sounds like a lot but it's a big journey. For those of you that are first diagnosed I would like to say hello and I understand how you feel. You feel afraid, overthinking, searching for answers and questioning so many things. Stop breathe and say this will make me stronger. If you go to my profile read my story. I want to help people with my story and inspire others to keep going in life no matter what. Message me anytime if you have any questions or need someone to listen to. I am here to help. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!!!!! MY LUPUS WARRIORS FIGHT!!

Hi - lovely to hear from you. I don’t post on here much. I’m suffering a major flare at the moment brought on by Long Covid.

Currently My symptoms are all over the place & extreme & I’m surviving off painkillers & bed rest.

I don’t know where to go next as GP not clued up on Long Covid & Rheumotology apt not until July. I’m off work on the sick who are not too happy as this is the 2nd time in 6 months.

I feel too ill to do anything x

Sorry I suffer a number of auto immune diseases.

Becehts sjorgens fibro CFS & probable lupus but not confirmed.

I'm sorry your in terrible pain. I hate the doctor and the pandemic affected you and others in situations like this. The main thing you can do is stay calm, rest and if anything gets out of hand call your doctor or go to the emergency room. I can definitely understand with you being diagnosed with alot. It can unbearable.
