I have discoid lupus & my dermatologist just moved out west. His replacement

I want to send a prayer for the people of New Orleans and surrounding areas.
I feel so bad for them. I live in constant fear of the same thing happening
to my daughter in Charleston, SC. She lives on an island. The weather on our
world has gotten unbelievable.

    I haven't been here for a while so I thought I should check in for an
update.  I celebrated a birthday yesterday so I feel thankful the
dastardly lupus has been thwarted for another year.

Was just surfing and found your group.
I've had Lupus for 17 years now and just want to be able to chat with
other people who know what it's like.

I'm trying to keep up with the reading, but I'm exhausted. I'm smack in the
middle of the County Fair! I'm sure I've whined and complained in the past
