G'day everyone, I am Patricia, a 40 something lady from Australia.

I was diagnosed with Lupus over 18 years ago, I also have fibromyalgia and RA so some days it is a bit of a battle but nevermind we get there in the end.

I look forward to getting to know you all more through the forum

Hi there Patricia

Welcome to the Forum! Im glad you decided to take the leap!

I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia but but no sign of RA (thank goodness!) despite a high RF factor.

I hope you enjoy the message boards and that you will get to make many new friends.

Looking forward to getting to know you

lupie aussie too

Hi Patricia
welcome! I'm also from Aussie, North Qld. I have been very welcomed on this site, with so much necessary info, as I am very isolated here, with no relevant specialists, and I have had to travel several times 1000s of km,from my city. I'm on medication now,:lol: with lupuslike symptoms, and long clot history until a variety of specialists recognize my long and recent symptoms.:hehe:
Look forward to seeing your posts:wink2:

Hi patricia

A big warm welcome to the forum

I am karen from the uk..I am 36 years old and have had lupus for nearly 15 years although I was wrongly diagnosed with RA until a year and a half ago due to the lupus mainly attacking my joints & also having a high rheumatoid factor.

I hope your lupus hasn't treated you too badly & I'm sure you also have a lot to offer through experience

I hope you enjoy being a part of the forum
bye for now..karen x
