Looking for Lupus friends

[CBryant33]

Hi Everybody!
My name is Courtney, and I am 13 years old. I just got diagnosed with SLE in May of this year.. I live in Maine, and there are not a lot of people my age around me, with this kind of condition...So I am looking for some friends to talk to. Does anybody out there want to be friends...To share some questions and concerns?? Or just talk about anything...=)

HI Courtney.. I am way over thirteen like by about thirty seven years.
but I wanted to welcome you to the lupus site..there are people here your age and and I am sure they will be along to chat with you. you can pop into chat and see if anyone is there around your age ,
this is a great place for information and friendship.. but please remember that not of us get the same problems. so what you read may not apply to you.
you can talk to your parents or doctor if you have any concerns about anything you read on here.
I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.. take care
from a grandma

Hey ...It nice to meet you...
Im Melissa...i just turned 16 and i was Dx October 20th 2005 with SLE also. I would be more than HAPPY to talk with you about anything. I talk with many other girls who also have lupus that are older and younger aswell and we always stay intouch!!! I also have antiphsopholipid antibody syndrome (blood clotting disorder) Arthritis...raynauds syn (artery spasms) erythema nodosum (blood vessel inflamation) need i go on!? I live in Canada. I am doing a fundrasior right now because i think the treatment sucks and ok who doesnt agree...there should be a cure not just a medication to "help" control the syptoms. So basically i am selling wristbands for lupus they say conquer lupus on them the money will go to funding research and lupus awareness (like educating newly dx people). So basically feel free to email me...or if you have MSN add me... PLEASE feel free to use it...ILL be there when you need me!!!

Take Care!!!
Hope to hear from you soon!!! style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flowers.gif

hi im hope
im 18 yrs old so im a bit older than you, but if u have any questions i would be happy to help.
ive got sle also plus other things. i was diagnosed with sle about 10yrs ago. when i was little i only had skin n joint problems.
the past 2 yrs or so things have changed for me but everyone is different and lupus effeect us in different ways although some can be similar. this is a great site i think and the people in chat are very helpful and supportive.
if you would like to know anything i will try and find out for you just send me an email . take care sweetie and best wishes with everything from hope x style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ok.gif

Hey Courtney!!!
I put a pm out the other day looking for friends with lupus, just like you and also like you I was diagnosed with lupus in april/may time this year, I live in New Zealand. I am 16, so am a wee bit older, but we must both be going through pretty much the same things at the moment. If you ever want to compare notes please don't hesitate to e-mail me(my address is in my profile), I'm sure we will both be a benefit to each other!
