    • I’m With You

      From CrisD July 7

      Thanks for the hug! Makes a big difference...sorry if i'm long winded in my e-mails. Just want to encourage you and everybody! I'm in noway perfect but I try to stick to my regimen. I've had a lifetime of practice and have learned to look and the little things I've done right. If you already do some of the things in the list you are doing great! You deserve some serious rewards and pampering.

      Big Hugs

  • Support Groups

    • Close MCTD

      Last June I was diagnosed w/SLE and Discoid Lupus. Then three months ago my new rheumy diagnosed me w/MCTD. I have been in emotional hell, depressed, in denial and confused since. My only true support this last year has been my husband and kids. I have felt alone, and need support. I feel like I am to much of a burden on my family and friends. Feel like my new Rheumy is not helping, and not getting the support I need from him.
