Yes, at 77 years old, I've been diagnosed with Lupus, Sjogrens and Fibromyalgia. Also, I have asthma. At age 3, I contacted polio which put in an iron-lung. I was diagnosed with post polio syndrome at age 42. Its hard to know what is causing what and the appropriate treatment. Trying to figure it out takes time, energy, wasted medically appointments and money. I find it all dramatically takes away from my quality of life.

@sarahmariem These diseases are very difficult and quality of life is deeply affected . No real solid answers. The cures are very difficult to take. I have watched my daughter (58) struggle starting at 5 with graves. Her first of many She lives with me now Jt would be hard for her to be alone but her children spend a lot of time helping her .
