hey cat nice to meet you, i am a 20 yr old female from mn. i too have all sorts of medical problems. lupus, fm, anemia, osteoarthritus, avascular necrosis. i had heart surgery when i was fiffteen, elbow surgery about two yrs ago, and this february i had a bilateral hip replacement. i know it gets real hard to deal with things and you feel so alone but you gotta know that its alright and you arent alone. we just have to beat that feeling and go on and do as much as we can. doctors think they know so much but they are just like every normal person out there and they arent much help. i know you arent a hypochondriac, there are quite a few people out here with all sorts of medical mysteries, alot i dont think they will ever figure out. the lupus is the weirdest thing ive ever imagined. well you take care of yourself and feel free to email me if you would like. smile, kristi
