This group is for those who have Lupus, for those waiting for a diagnosis of lupus,and for family members and friends who wish to learn more in order
to help a loved one with Lupus. This is where we can find others for support and friendship! Do you ever feel like no one understands you, or how you feel? Well, here we do, because we are going through the same type of things, whether it be family, friends, or doctors, we know how you feel. We know how lonely it can be and how it is to feel like a burden on our loved ones. This group is for both men and women. There is GREAT support and friendship here. Feel free to be yourselves and open up your feelings. Whining is definitely allowed! :) Please come and try us out, you have nothing to lose and tons to gain! :) *All that is asked is that you respect others feelings and beliefs. PLEASE no chain letters and forwards.** THIS IS NOT A RESEARCH SITE, information you receive here is from first hand experience.

"Any correspondence of degrading or accusing matter will be deleted and the writer warned as NO personal attack of any kind will be tolerated. We respect each others feelings here. We will NOT attack others here. We will NOT debate here. We will respect the areas we do not agree on by focusing on what we do have in common... Lupus." There are no exceptions to this policy. This site is not for people who are not involved with Lupus and Lupus patients. We do not diagnose our members,
or prescribe treatment to them. Anyone who attempts to diagnose/treat
over the internet through this group will be warned, and if they do not
stop making direct diagnoses or instructing members to follow certain
routines, they will be banned from this group.

This group is forever grateful to a wonderful woman who brought us all together and made us a family. Deanna Haller, who passed away 8/2/06. May she rest in peace and without pain.
