Hi.
I’m 45, tube fed with TPN, APS, Lupus, FMS, CPS plus other issues. Not too much going on lol!
Anyone else similar to me?
I use a powerchair, stairlift, wet room and have an automatic electric door to help me get out the house. I have a wonderful husband whom I’ve been with since 13.
Just wanted to say hello!

Thanks for replying hun. Lupus has attacked my blood, caused kidney damage, wrecked my gut and intestines which I needed ops for, FMS is secondary to the SLE. I suffer with chronic pain syndrome too, plus a few other ailments. X -
