Lupus and Me
Hi, I’m Claire, I’m 49 and I live in England. I was diagnosed with lupus and Reynolds disease in 2018. Since then I have not stopped struggling. The cold weather in England does my condition no good. My hands are constantly purple and the aches in my joints are sometimes unbearable. Being a mum of four you just seem to struggle through but it’s definitely getting harder to do so. Also it is really hard to find a good support group here and know nobody who shares this awful condition. I hope I am ok to join this group as I am not based in the US but I absolutely love reading the stories and forums and learning everyone’s journey. Thank you for reading .
