    Hi katnapp

    I am sorry no one has replied to your thread. It has been very quiet on the forum today.

    I found the Lupus UK site which may be of help to you. It says it is "the only national registered charity supporting people with systemic lupus and discoid lupus and assisting those approaching diagnosis".

    Morning Katnapp

    I am so sorry about your latest diagnosis.

    I know there are other forum members who have Lupus so hopefully someone will be along soon. As Elna says, it has seemed quite quiet on the forum.

    Thinking of you.

    Love Tilly xxx

    Hi, I have lupus and a few other things. I know it sounds scary, but don't be afraid. You still have the same symptoms just another name.

    I have lots of helpful sites, but you are not allowed to post links so feel free to PM me if you want help.

    The meds can make a massive difference and most live a near normal life. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have.

    Take care
