Hello
My illness has been making me feel increasingly isolated and depressed.
Suppose I’m looking for freinds on here that might understand.
My likes are music, tattoos, nursing, vegan baking and my pets.
if you also have an auto immune disease regardless of shared interest please get in contact.
I’ll try my best to get back to you.
kind regards MT

Welcome to the Forum @MissTyler.
I love Tattoos. Have 2. Got them both last year at the age of 46. Lol.
Autoimmune disease runs in my family. Hoshimoto Disease, Fibro Myalgia, Arthritis & Chemical Sensitivity (I inherited that one).
What tupe of Autoimmune do you have?
I have 2 dogs. Am not a cat person. And you?

Hello @MissTyler
Welcome to the forums, it is really nice to meet you. It is helpful that you are reaching out here to try and connect as you are feeling isolated and depressed.
Thanks for sharing some things about you, there is also a thread called Introduce Yourself Here that members find helpful to connect when they first start posting.
You have some great interests, I like that you are into music. Do you work in nursing?
I look forward to getting to know you better,
Lunar 🙂
