Hi. I'm a premi-newbie! Been an active member for about two minutes, and I cannot wait to explore this site! Having been recently diagnosed via blood test with Sjogrens, I'm entering a brand new world. It's good to know I'm not alone. Happier New Year, everybody. Best, Peggy :)
Hi Peggy
Welcome to the gang! You'll soon find out that this is a really nice community to be part of.
I'm intrigued about your user name - you surely can't be 93?

Oh but I YAM.... no, just feel like it sometimes! :D My address begins with 1917, and it's easy for me to remember!
Thanks so much for the welcome, Katybarstool! I've read several posts, and I'm glad to know there are others who sometimes feel 93, even though they're not!!
I'll get used to the protocol in next to no time, I hope, and look forward to being part of this special community!
Thanks again, Peggy

Welcome, Peggy!
I look fwd to chatting. I was DX just last month, but have suspected SOMETHING was wrong with me for several yrs. This is a great forum, with great members. Lots of info, and it's so nice to talk to people that understand! (I, too, feel 93 at times. ;)

Hi Peggy,
This is THE best site for support, encouragement, & knowledge. I'm glad you've found it. I know I was glad to find it a couple of months ago.
I'm not glad you have SJS, but am glad you have a diagnosis. That goes a long way in getting the treatment you need.
Search this site, post your questions. There are so many caring, helpful, knowledgeable folks here. They've sure helped me!
Blessings,
Joy
