Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the board and haven't really had time to go through the threads yet.  I'm currently undiagnosed, but am leaning towards a Sjogren's diagnosis I think. 

I'm a married mother of two young boys (2 and 5) and work full time as a software engineer.  I won't go into details on my symptoms in this post, but just wanted to introduce myself.  I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Thanks,

Susan

Welcome VTmommy. I feel like I am repeating myself. I understand being a Software engineer. I had two young daughters about the same age when I first got Fibro triggered by an auto accident that left me with stroke symptoms and migraines in 1983. I was not able to work. My youngest was upset that we could not afford the things her friends had. Now that she has had her own bout with AI diseases she is a little more understanding.

Welcome Susan.

I have a better chance of understanding the rudiments of Quantum Physics, than software.

Best wishes to you, Barbara

Welcome, Susan, from another mom of young kids!  I'm SO impressed that you are working FT.  I'm afraid if I was I would have been fired by now because my brain is so foggy anymore.

My kiddos are 5, 9, and 11.  Sorry you have to be here but everyone is quite lovely and helpful.  You can ask absolutely anything!

Hi Susan I am new too, looks like I also have Sjs just waiting for final diagnosis. I'm scared and freaked out so you can imagine how happy I am to find this site.  Keep me posted as I will do the same.

Best,
Leslie
