Me too! What happened to the Invision board, it stopped working and I lost you all?

I will take time to look at the link you have provided Jim, good to hear from you again. I hope you have been doing ok? I have been better but still hanging in, winter here in Australia is kinder to me but still having lots of ups and downs

love
Lily

on the CNSV message board, it was a great source of comfort and info for everyone! Seems silly not to have given you the option of taking it over

I will keep in touch Jim and it was good to hear from you also :bigsmile:
Keep up the good work, you helped me immensely so I am sure you will make a great patient advocate!

love
Lily

Hi Bridie

I think from what you said in another post you have Vasculitis of the skin is that correct? It's a common problem in many lupies (about 70% one source quoted). It's basically inflammation of the tiny blood vessels closest to the skin. It generally doesn't cause too many problems as it doesn't damage any organs and isn't life threatening like Vasculitis affecting the brain or other major organs supplied with blood vessels.
