I'm so sorry for your loss also for navet85 So sad to read this.

I, as a European, am so grateful how hard you people work to raise awareness and work to find a cure. Its not the case here. After being diagnosed 10 years ago with a 'mild sclerodermia' while I thought, back then yet, it was lupus. Its now at last diagnoses last March 2008. My life has changed so much. Its very comforting to read and share this with others here. Thanks for all for everything.

I have had Lupus SLE for 13 years. I also have Fibromyalgia, and RA. I do believe we need more awareness, may people think if you don't look sick, you aren't. I would love to have my life back. I pray for it and all of you. God Bless

Thanks for informing us about Lupus! Sheila Shaw survived Lupus, which knocked out her kidney function. She teaches all about taking control of your life despite living with chronic illness. I have talked with so many Lupus patients who all said that their Lupus flared out at the most stressful point in their lives. This was Sheila's case as well. In my personal studies, it seems to be that keeping stress to a minimum would help with preventing it. You have a great foundation!
