I am in my early 30s and living with Sjogrens and other autoimmune
related health conditions. It took four years of illness and countless
doctors’ appointments to get a diagnosis. Just as my life was really
starting, I became sicker and sicker and unable to work and continue graduate
school. Now I am learning to live with an autoimmune disease, which is a
tricky complicated journey and want to share my experiences with others—the
good, the bad, and the ugly. While there is joy, there are many
frustrations and my husband and family and my strong stubborn will have kept me
forging ahead.
I love to giggle and act silly and am one of those do-gooder
types. So I hope there is some good that that will come out of supporting
each other and sharing our tricks and tips for working through daily challenges
and make others aware of autoimmune disease and chronic illness. I hope
you will share your stories and experiences too.
