Hello everyone!

Then I was tested for Lupus. I didn't have the antibodies.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away... sorry, I could not resist. That is just one of my other conditions rearing its head, StarWarsNerd-itis. Hey, we have to find something to laugh about, right?
Anyway, I guess this is my Fibro story...
