<span style="color:#336666">style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hugbetter.gif Hi DIAMOND_RUBY,

Welcome to the forum style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/coffee.gif

I'm sorry about your friendship with your friend 2 years ago.
You're absolutely right, Other people don't completely understand
what is like to live with Lupus.
It took my husband a while to understand why the sunlight made me sick.
And we've been married for years, so I think it happens often and it's frustrating.
Here you'll find a lot of support and understanding. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/flowers.gif

Nice meeting you style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shakehands.gif </span>

Hey Rhianon,
My name is Helen, I'm 20, and I live in Auckland NZ. I've been diagnosed since I was 17, and I know what you mean, it is so hard trying to make, and keep, friends when you have lupus, and I think it is great to have someone who understands what you have to go through each and every day.
How does your lupus affect you?
X Love Helen style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cloud9.gif
