Are there any recently diagnosed Lupus patients? |
I am 18 years old and I have been diagnosed (by a rheumatologist/internalist)as being border-line Lupus. I have been having new symptoms such as the butterfly rash,hair loss,swollen and achig hands and joints and exhaustion.How were you all diagnosed and how are you going about the daily rough and tumble of life? Thanks. Greetings!! A fantastic website for those with Lupus and/or any other autoimmune (AI) disease is the virtual village at: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com... I personally have MS, which is another type of AI disease. The but you don't look sick website was founded 2 years ago by a lady in her late 20's with Lupus, who was having a hard time explaining her condition and her symptoms to friends, family, and doctors. She developed what has become known as the "Spoon Theory" to explain her condition, and the condition of all the rest of us with "invisible" diseases!! Here is the link to that story on the but you don't look sick website: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/the_sp... I can't recommend this site strongly enough!!!
