    • About Me

      I was diagnosed with Lupus and Sjogren's Syndrome about 5 years ago though I had symptoms for many years, Sjogren's symptoms for up to 40 years ago. I developed rhumatoid arthritis at that time. Have since, in recent years developed Horners Syndrome and Vasculitis and also have had Cervical Spondulosis for 27 years. Recently I was diagnosed with a Lymphoma that I've had treatment for. The thing I hate most is the Vasculitis because it stops me from wearing all my pretty shoes and I have to wear dolly shoes (with an instep strap, and flat). I've gained 2 stones (28 pounds) and don't seem to be able to lose any of it.

    • Interests

      I loved sewing and cross stitch but my eyes have been affected by Horners so can't do that now. I do make all my own greetings cards and have a dolls house that I hope to furnish for my youngest grand daughter. I'm a pushover for new clothes and shoes. My family are my main interest in life. I have 2 daughters, 1 Son and 8 Grandchildren who I adore. I like Formula one racing and am daft about motorcycles. A life member of M.A.G. (Motorcycle Action Group.)
