I am in Colorado. I am 35 and have Lupus Nephritis. On lots of medications right now including prednisone, cellcept, coumadin, bactrim, enalapril, and aciphex. Feel free to ask anything else.
Peace
Brent

I'm 44 and live in Georgia.
I've learned a lot from this board. I have an Undifferentiated Connective
Tissue Disorder that is Lupus like.

I've been in printing or advertising for 26 years. If you can find a shop
willing to train you in estimating or customer service you could stay in the
business. Having been a pressman, you have the base knowledge to move
into either of these areas, as long as you also have some computer skills.
Many times these jobs are not advertised, but filled through word of mouth.
Look up printers in your area, and physically go to the shops and drop off your resume and fill out an application.
A stint in customer service may lead to an opportunity in sales.
On the flip side, if you can get into another business that is less stressful, go for it. Printing is full of "I need it yesterday" deadlines, as you know. We all feel better with less daily stress.
Good luck

i know that lupus is rarer in men but it seems that not many men get on this web site and ia it true what i read about lupus affecting men different to women
