There's alot of newbies...while I'm reading all the posts my fingers are sore so I haven't been commenting that much, so I would love to add my welcome to all the new posters and my wish that you find this site as helpful and supportive as I have. Smile

I'd like to say welcome as well. We've had a flood of new members, and it can be hard to keep up with the individual welcomes. Our ranks here are growing, and it's good to see. There are too many people with Lupus who suffer in silence, or are in the limbo of knowing they are ill, but cannot get a proper diagnosis yet, and have no one to talk to. So, to all our new members, welcome. Don't be shy, you can vent, rant, laugh, cry, or just have a shoulder to lean on here with plenty of acceptance, and no judgement.

Rob

Hi all newbies,
Welcome to the site. There are a lot of us who have Lupus and a lot who are still waiting like Rob said and everyone is welcome here. I think all of us knows what it is like to have to wait to get a proper diagnosis. Lupus is a very hard illness to live with and everyone needs to be able to talk about what is happening with them. I think this site is excellent big time. I just want to say welcome and God Bless.

Kathy
