Re: ~Believe51~Diagnosed With Lupus!~

No one can replace the Mighty Oak but you know your friends here will stick by you.
Maybe you can think of some of the things that got you through that earlier ordeal and apply them now to your own situation.
You operate very well in support groups. Have you found a forum specific for Lupus? And are there any community resources that can provide assistance, like Visiting Nurse? You are a mighty oak yourself and will prosper. I am sorry you are feeling so lost and alone right now. Keep the faith.
