Did you know there are over 80 kinds of auto immune diseases? Even with those stats, we often feel alone with our health issues. Our healthy friends (bless them!) don't "get it". Wouldn't it be great to all get-together to meet others like us who have RA, or myositis, or thyroid, or lupus, CFS, FM, Lichen Planus or any related condition?
If you are looking to make new friends that understand the nature of these illnesses, then I hope you join this group.
Although I am based in Morris County, I hope to plan our "meets" in various areas of N. NJ and NY/NYC.
Hello everyone!
I apologize if I seemed to have disappeared for a while. My health has taken me for quite a ride this year!
I am happy we have quite a few new members. That's so encouraging; if I get my butt in gear, we will all be there for eachother for support, etc, before you know it.
OK --- let's meet! Read more
