Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I do have Lupus. I was diagnosed by my dermatologist after doing a biopsy after fighting rashes and lesions on my arms and back for years that no one could figure out what it was. I have to say that at this point I feel luckier than most. My ANA is still negative although my sed rate is always high. I am able to continue to work full time. I have a nursing job that allows me to do triage for a clinic. I am able to sit and work on the phone and computer all day. This is a great help when the fatigue and the joint pain are at its worst. I have a wonderful husband who has taken over all the things that I am just too tired to do anymore. Thank God for men like him. I have been looking for a place to go where I could talk with others who truely understand the feeling and the fear that go with this disease. I think I have found it. So far I have just been trying to read and figure out how to get around in here. Hope you all have patience with me while I learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
