Hi all,
Just found this site and hope it will help me in lots of ways. I was diagnosed with SLE 3.5 years ago when my son was 6 months old. I had lost 3 babies prior to having him and tests showed i has APS, with medication (daily injections of heparin) i managed to carry until 38 weeks
At 6 months I had a barrage of tests for lupus and they came back positive
up until now ive pretty much got by with the use of NSAIDS and occasional steriod injections and the support of my husband, BUT recently my symptoms seem to have accelerated, we emigrated to the USA 2 years ago and all seemed well, i didnt even have a doctor at first (naught naughty i know :blush: ) but i have just had an almighty flare AND been diagnosed with Mono and a liver infection so have been started on 'metholpredisnone'.
Im starting to actually feel like i have a life long illness, my husband is very supportive but my parents tend to 'poo poo' it a bit as they dont know much about it.
Needing more support and knowledge than ever and truly hoping i can find it here :sad:
Oh, by the way, Im Emma (31) married to Mick (43) originally from Leeds UK, now living in sunny Florida with our son Joe (4)
