!st Welcome Renee and sorry for the circumstances that brought you here.

I've read many of your posts and wish I could hug you and say "I know" because unfortunately I have experienced much of what you describe. Everyone here helps lift you up so you can keep fighting and LIVING!
We all help each other through the "pity parties".

I can tell you that most of us share your experiences. The affected body parts, symptoms and treatments vary of course. Unfortunately, I think everyone in this group understand each other much more than people with out this monster disease.

If you follow some of our posts you'll see many of our experiences are very similar at one time or another.
Bram especially is a huge support and I don't know when she finds time to take of herself.

I think we've cried for each other, offered support, expressed our rants (I sure have) and shared treatment information.

This is a wonderful place for all of that and more.
I wish you some relief and strength!
