    Its hard, isn't it.........but hopefully you'll get some decent medication soon, and be on the road to remission of the evil called arther

    Try to keep positive..............yes I know........what a stupid thing to say..................Can't think of anything else though......

    Oh ailsarobby, that ain't good. Please post on LWA, that's the best place for ranting as more people will read and respond than on here. Regarding the lupus, you could PM carola, she was diagnosed just over a month ago and is tackling it with diet - and to good effect. She has also bought lots of books and could give you advice about which are worth reading. I am so sorry you are feeling so rough: I think that auto-immune conditions can strike any organ - it's the body attacking itself, it doesn't care what it attacks. Take care. DD

    I've been thinking about you: I was going to start a thread on LWA saying that you needed a bit of a boost, but you are new to us and this sort of stuff is quite private and I didn't know if you would like it so I didn't. I'm sorry. DD

    You are sounding a bit brighter in your last post - it does help to have a rant and get it all off one's chest. I hope you had some sleep last night and are feeling OK today. DD
