Hi 1windsong :hello: :wavesmile: :hello:
First of all :welcome: to the lupus site. I am Jo, i live in Yorkshire (UK), i am 32 and was dx with lupus may 2004.
I am sorry to hear that you have been dx with lupus, but like you said you knew you had it. Getting a dx doesn't change how you feel health wise but it does help with the treatment for it.
Its nice to hear that you have a loving husband because having an illness such as lupus it does really help having someone there that loves you, cares for you and just be there for you. I am also lucky to have a loving & very caring husband of 8 years (got a few more years till we catch you up).
Although i have a great husband (Martin) it really helps been part of this group, members here who also have lupus do really know what we are going thru, people can say that they understand what we are going thru but until you have experienced it they don't and can't understand.
I hope you manage to make some good friends here and find this site helpful and useful.
Take care :hug: Jo :hug:
