Hello everybody. 

After almost 3 years of confusion about my declining health, genuinely wondering if I have hypochondria, and convincing myself that what I am experiencing is normal, I have been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosis with Dermatomyositis overlap, and Intestitial Lung Diasease. 

I started immunosuppressants in Oct this year and feeling hopeful that I can start to feel a bit more like 'me' again.

This forum has been a huge source of support for me so I thought I would come our of 'lurk' mode and actually begin to participate. 

Hopefully I will be able to contribute some useful info for others too.

    It's lovely to hear from you @Mumzilla and welcome :) I'm glad the community has been able to help you feel supported.

    It sounds like you've been through a lot over the last 3 years, but hopefully now you'll be able to move forward and feel more like yourself, as you say. You are more than welcome to swing by for a chat, a bit of a moan, or just get to know everyone over in the coffee lounge. 

    Whatever it is, don't be afraid to ask for anything you might need!
