Hey and welcome to the site

Your boyfriend is obviously very supportive, finding the site for you, that's great and will help lots. Everyone here is great and have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share. It is like an extended family. Everyone's Lupus experience is slightly different, but it is nice to know you are not alone. In the beginning I felt a little isolated and lonely, still do sometimes.

So how are you?

Take care

Claire

Hi there,

Welcome to the board. You have found a great place for support.

How does your Lupus effect you? Do you work? I hope your on meds and are feeling ok.

Hello Bacardi Brown,

Glad you found us. Lupus can be isolating and we do all need each other. You will fit in here fine.

omg...

THANK U all so much for ur warm welcome it actually brought tears to my eyes.already i feel better knowin all u guys are out there to share. thats very important in these times.i havnt seen my ra since my diagnoses i'll b seein him in a week ,i guess thats when i'll find out if the meds are workin or startin to work , my symtoms are a little less but not much . right now im dealin with pleurisy for about 3 mayb 4 weeks now (painful) thats how i found out bout the steroids -works great on joint pain and some other symtoms but hard on my stomach so had to stop those, if there are any NSAID's that hav help or worked for anyone the name of them would b nice. ive already tried celabrex and arthrotec no luck. other then that its funny how everyday can b so differrent i'm just learning to roll with it. i've been out of work now for 6 months and im really startin to think about applyin 4 SSD....dont know yet.

bacardibrown,

Welcome to the site. I am Tammy and have had lupus for about 17 years now. I am still learning and this site is a good place to talk with other, ask questions, share info, and make new friends. There is a chat room that we visit from time to time hope to see you in there sometime. It can get a little crazy in there sometimes and we laugh a lot so grab the tissues and joint us anytime.
Tammy
