Complete and utter hopelessness

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've been suffering from SS for the last 10 years, 5 years ago it shut my lungs down and I just escaped through with my life, since then I haven't worked and most days can barely walk around my home. lack of energy and chronic fatigue plague my life.

I get extremely low in myself

Does anyone out there understand???

    Yes. Don't have Sjogren's but Behcet's which is v similar. Almost killed me as a child. Then went into spontaneous remission around 7. Returned later. In remission again now after long treatment. Can be either mild or very disabling. Feel for you. X
