Hi my name is bri & im a 31 year old lady from london. I was eventually diagnosed with SLE in 1997, ive since suffered an acute flare up in 2000 which resulted in me losin all 4 digits on my left hand & 1/2 the index digit on my right, nerve damaged in both legs & some renal failure.
If it was not for the love & support of my family & son i think i would of given up ages ago but im here (give thanks) & still fightin on. Ive had a hip replacement 3years ago because of the amount of damaged that been on long term steriods has done & im currently waitin 2 have an operation on my left ankle as they suspect that just like my hip, my ankle has become damaged in the same way.
Like i said im new to this & just stumbled upon this site, but its a comfort 2 no & be able 2 read some of your stories, knowin that their are others out there like myself who have had a hard time with lupus & no matter what continue to believe, have faith & fight on:wink2:
