Just saying G'day

   Hi I am Bel,

very new to this site and and to Sjogrens... its been 6 months since my diagnosis, ( sounds like a confessional!! )   a year since I can remember not being in chronic pain and totally exhausted!!!  Slowly learning that my life from this point will be radically different from what its ever been, adjusting to not being able to go to the gym each day, not having the energy that I use to have and getting use to the vast range of different types of fatigue that I get.  Most of my friends/family/work friends/doctors had no idea what Sjogrens was but we are all slowly coming to terms with it!!

Anyways enough of my slight pity ditty!!

Looking forward to meeting others with this illness...

Hi Bel,

Let me welcome you to the SJS World and family!  Please do look around the board, and if you don't find what you're looking for, don't be shy and post away (there is usually someone about that might be able to help)

Oh boy, I sure know what you mean about the exhaustion!  Several years later, even though it's not as bad as before my screwy thyroid decided to add a bit of spice to my life!

Hang in there, come often, and I hope to chat with you soon.

Take care of yourself -

Patze
