SLE(Lupus), Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia
Hello, My name is Tisha and I live in the state of Pennsylvania. I was diagnosed with SLE Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2009. I’ve recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and other secondary conditions in 2021. As you know this terrible medical condition/disease wreaks havoc on your body! But I refuse to give in and will continue to fight this battle. Blessings and healing ❤️🩹 prayers to all.
Hi Tisha (
). Welcome to the site (although we know it is a club people wish they didn't need 😀 ). My wife, Kelly Mack, is a contributor here and was diagnosed at age two, 45 years ago. She also has a number of comorbidities - those autoimmune conditions love to piggyback on each other. Another contributor, Daniel (another RA long-timer), wrote this article on trying to manage them and coordinate care: https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/living/coordinating-care-doctors. I also want to let you know that we have a sister-site for lupus at https://lupus.net/. Please know that this community is here for you. As a side note, I grew up in S.E. Pennsylvania. Best, Richard (RheumatoidArthritis.net Team)
