Hi,
I'm new to this site. I was diagnosed with Lupus or a "possible connective tissue disorder" about 10 years ago. The reason for the lack of a definitive diagnosis was inconsistent blood work results.
Despite a definitive diagnosis, my (deceased) mother had Lupus and I believe I have it too. I am on plaquinil and diclofenac. I have been on prednisone once for a flare, but do not need it regularly.
I often appear very healthy and because of that, my illness is very deceiving. Combine that with an outgoing personality and most peoiple don't believe I feel as lousy as I do. But the chronic fatigue hardly ever disappears. HOw many of you have that problem?
I guess I just wanted to stick my head out and say hello and get a start on connecting with people like myself. I have no one in my area that has this diagnosis and I often feel very frustrated.
Hello for now and I hope to find this site helpful in some way.
Thanks for being here.
