Hi ((((((((((( goldieinpain )))))))))))))

Welcome to PC. New members have their first 5 posts in moderation and as soon as they are approved by the team, they will show up on the forums. It can take awhile sometimes, but after the first 5, then you are set to go and everything shows up as you post it

I'm sorry to hear of your lupus and being in so much pain. I have some friends who also have lupus and it is sure a difficult disorder to deal with. In many ways it reminds me of MS in the fact that at times you can look absolutely wonderful and yet be so dang sick and people just can't "see" it. I hope you find some relief from your flares soon.

Take good care!
