I found this board 4 years ago. I've stayed even after I was correctly diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome. I share my time between 3 different boards, even moderating one of the boards. Whether you stay or not after you are diagnosed is really your decision. Some people are comfortable just staying here even after being diagnosed. Some just drift away and some go and come on a regular basis.

But you are always welcome here. If we can help you in your journey to finding help, then your combined knowledge with ours to help another new person will just make this board stronger. The board develops a personality made up of lots of personalities. Some personalities perhaps have an undesirable nature to them, but there is always some grain of truth or help even in them.

As a moderator of a board and having to read every post of that board, I've been able to see more of the interior of what happens in a board. I hope I explained some of what you were asking.
