Post by: Luna on August 03, 2011, 01:58:43 PM
Hello, my name is Rebecca. I was diagnosed early june. Was dealing with all the symptoms, pain for many years. Doctors could not figure it out. Finally we know what it is. I have been learning what I can sinse I found out. I look forward to future conversations and hope to learn some and hopefully help some.  :)

Hi Rebecca,
I was just diagnosed in Feb. And everyone here has been so helpful and kind to me.

I have had tons of questions and a few moments of panic, and everyone has given me great information and understanding I have not been able to get from friends and family because they cant understand.

So welcome!! And post away!

Hi Rebecca  :)

Welcome to Sjogren's world! It's unfortunately not unusual to have to wait several years for any kind of diagnoses. It's still a shock when it comes but this site will help!

Take care - Scottie  :)
