Hi Tina,  

Lupus has been with me for 25 years and I still can not accept it.  When
reading fairy stories to my Grandchildren  I want all the magic wand
stuff that might cure this disease.  Lately was diagnosed with
schlerderma  too.  I work part time now because there are things
that can be done in the house when I can't go out.  Sun is my biggest
enemy and despite hats, gloves, sun blocking clothing and sun screen
the sun still causes flares.  Live in Northern California on the coast
and we are blessed with cool weather and fog.  Still can't go out
because of the high  UV rays.  There are many in this group who
really do research and have  more knowledge than I do.  They
have helped through some really tough times.  Welcome to the group
