Hello there and welcome
I'm glad you have found this site. It is a great source of support, advice and a good deal of fun too at times.
I'm sorry to hear that you have been so ill this year and had so many flare ups.
I am living in Belgium - kind of an expat I suppose (I am about to celebrate the anniversary of half my life here - scary :lol

- and no-one speaks a word of English around this remote area. There are certainly no lupus support groups!
I hope you find this site as useful and supportive as I have,
bye for now,
Katharine
