Hello to all,

I'm 50 years old and have just gotten diagnosed with Sjogren's last Fall. I also have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Celiac Disease. I still have yet to begin any treatment. I'm honestly not in a good place since I'm very ill right now. I live in a small state where choice of doctors is limited and I'm about to change doctors again.  I'm single, live alone and have a son in his first year of college, he's my helper! I'm grateful to find such a great forum. Thanks to all for being here!

Regards,

Stephanie

Welcome! This is truly a wonderful place where you can go and know that someone will know EXACTLY how you are feeling. Very comforting. I hope that you are able to start treatment soon.

Hi Stephanie,

Late as usual, but let me also welcome you to the SJS World and family!  Yep, this is a wonderful board with tons of great members! 

I know what you mean about having to switch doctors, oh my, I can't tell you how many doctors I've gone through!  Have you seen a rheumy yet?  If you have, does he plan on putting you on any meds soon?

Again, welcome, and I hope to see you around the board.

Take care of yourself, okay?
