Avatar n tn lupus, CREST, Sjogrens) as well as some pretty serious secondary disorders (neuropathy, heart problems) and was wondering if anyone out there has multiple autoimmune as well and if a support group would be beneficial?

Avatar m tn 5 Clinical data A placebo-controlled phase 1 clinical trail of 37 subjects studied the effects of oral racemic LA in multiple sclerosis.

I'm urging everyone to read this, and share it with whoever you know that may be affected by it (or, even if they're not, these words need to be heard and understood).

672839 tn?1305792947 To me, there are two types of groups, 1) Support and 2) Self Help. Support Groups are places to go and feel safe.

In this setting professionals teach you the steps necessary to better yourself and your position.
