Hi, my name is Vanessa and I am 25 years old living in sunny San Diego, CA. I would really love to get into shape and be overall healthy. I was diagnosed with lupus in October 2003 and it sure has been and up and down battle with weight because of the steroids I take. I also find that nutrition and exercise play a HUGE role on how I feel. I'm also looking into natural therapies to hopefully wean me off of some of these horrible drugs I am taking. I would love to meet anyone with a similar experience or who can give me some advice. This is such an awesome website! I'm glad I found out.

    Hi Vanessa - Glad you could join us. I know a little about Lupus, or at least how the drugs treat you. Some of the drugs are not kind. But with our help here we will gladly hold your hand (so to speak).
    Good luck
