Introduce Yourself Posted: 12-06-03 13:53pm
I'm new here and have enjoyed the company
on this forum. It gives me something to
look foward to on the days I don't feel so
well and that seems to be quite often
lately .
I'm daisy and I live in the sweetest
place, "hershey, pa". I'm 37, married to
a wonderful man (he works at the chocolate
factory and smells like it when he gets
home...Yum. I provide job security for
him. I love chocolate, it's good
medicine...Lol ), and have a moody 14 year
old son (puberty sucks!) from a prior
marriage. I was diagnosed with sle in
1999. I have also been diagnosed with
fibromyalgia, aniphospholid blood
disorder, tmj, sjogrens, ibs, and asthma.
I had gotten sick 6 mos after my husband
and I got married.
I love animals. I have 6 birds, fish and
a wonderful dog. We did have a mini zoo
but I had to downsize due to my health.
I worked in the medical field for 8 years
( I lived in atlanta, georgia for almost 9
years), have a criminal justice degree,
was an insurance agent for 5 years, and
now work part time managing a hair salon
owned by brother-in-law. I also started
a christian based support group in our
area about 6 mos ago.
That is the nut shell version of my life.
I love taking on a good challenge but
this is to much some days. I'm sure all
of you know what i'm talking about.
Every new day there is another new symptom
or disease added to my list. At what
point does it make sense to not add to
that list? I guess that would be the day
when the dr doesn't give me one more pill
to take .
Oh no, I answered my own question
. Has anyone figured out that there's
12 inches of snow outside and i'm trapped
in the house with "puberty boy" and
there's the threat of 4 more
inches............Help ok
i'll stop.......I feel trapped , but have
no where to go anyway !
Thank you for sticking with me on this.
I hope to hear from anyone.....Please just
one person.... .
I'm going
......I'm scared because i'm finding humor
in myself. Bye daisy

I have been meaning to respond to this for
days...Sorry for taking so long.
It is nice to meet you! Is there still
tons of snow on the ground? My
uncle-in-law was complaining about more
snow in pittsburgh on sunday.
We are thrilled to have you here. You
seem so well-adjusted and upbeat...And
with lupus that can drain you! Lol!
i have told my story a while ago...So I
won't bore everyone again...
hugs!

Hi, my name is melissa, i'm new to this
site but I think it's really neat.I'm 23
and I was dignosed with lupus when I was
18, and at that time went in to the
hospital for 3 1/2 monthes, had cemo for
six monthes, had dialisys for my kidneys,
was told I was not going to make it by
many doctors, and told I would have to
have a kidney transplate, but now 5 1/2
years later I have my hair back, not on
dialisys, and almost normal kidney
function, and my lupus is in remission for
know!! I get depressed
alot, and scared that it will come back
soon but I try to take it a day at a time,
but i'm glad I found this site.Thanks,

Hi melissa!
Welcome! It seems like you have been
through a lot and, thank goodness, doing
well.
There are a lot of us here who have been
through many of the same things you
discuss. I was 26 at diagnosis, but was
sick for much longer. My college years
were a "kidney" nightmare.
