Title: So Glad to be here
Post by: peacelovepink on August 17, 2009, 09:02:55 AM
Hello all! i am so glad to have found this forum and such a kind bunch of people. I have been reading posts and seems all care alot about each other and are encouraging. I have recently been diagnosed with Primary Sjogrens after finally being sent to a rheumatologist. I have had fibromyalgia for many years and apparently have had sjogrens for many also. So glad to be here and hope to forum meet some of you soon. //

Hi peacelovepink

Good to meet you.  Yes, we are a loving lot here and also quite a wild lot as you'll find out if you join us in the chat room (details on the timetable). 

Post lots and ask all the questions you have.  I'm sure you'll have lots of useful experience that you can share after all those years of SjS and fibromyalgia.  What meds have you been on?  What are your main symptoms? 

Take care - Chickpea

ps love the name!

Hi peacelovepink,

Let me also welcome you to the SJS World!  Please do look around as the others have already mentioned, you'll find a ton of information that you might find interesting.  And you're right, the members here are really great!

I'm glad that you've got a good rheumy, they seem to be hard to find in some areas.  I know that the rheumy I see has frustrated me almost to the point of tears on occasion  ::) - if he wasn't so sharp, I would have found another one a couple of years ago.

Again, welcome and I hope to chat with you soon.

Take care -

Patze
