Lupus Stories ~ Chapter Six ~


If you are still without a diagnosis, confused and frustrated by the medical run-around, please read through the pages of Issy's LUPUS INFORMATION CENTER. There you will find answers to many of your questions and probably even some you've never considered. Contained within these pages are symptoms, statistics, little-known facts, and common mis-conceptions. There may even be something there for those of you who have already been diagnosed! I believe you will find it well worth your time. If you would like to print these pages, The Lupus Information Center is now available in Print-Friendly Pages! Also available is a new section on Social Security Disability Benefits. Be sure to check it out before you apply!

I will post your responses to the Lupus Survey as they are received! Read your post and those of others. Make friends, learn more about your disease, share emotions, and know that all-important sense of belonging. Please share your story with us!


PLEASE NOTE!

I have recently discovered that I have not been receiving all of the responses to this form!! I always reply to each submission within 2-3 days. If you do not receive an e-mail from me within that time period after submitting your response, please
e-mail { IssyMissy } with your story. I don't want to leave anyone out! Thank you and I regret this inconvenience.

"...My son has lived the majority of his life with a sick mom. He has always kept his grades up and been a good child, but I know my illness has affected him. Though he may not say anything, I can feel the resentment he has when I cannot go places with him. Chronic illness takes its toll on the entire family..."

31) ~ Sheryl ~
"...My mother was diagnosed with lupus in the mid 70's and at that time the doctors thought that there was literally no chance that I or my offspring would "inherit" lupus. Unfortunately, that is just what happened. I developed lupus 12 years ago at age 32, and my daughter was diagnosed 5 years ago, at age 17..."
