I am a registered nurse, a person diagnosed with lupus and a person who ran a support group. There were no support groups when I was diagnosed that were near by. The L.F.N.C. helped me start a group which I ran for several years with their support. I would have never attempted to do this without their support. I hope I helped a few people when I did do the group. It became too difficult for me to do the group and work so I had to give up the group. I appreciate the L. F.N.C. for all their help and know they have helped many people through out the years. Sincerely~Sheila Thompson, M.S.N.
