I was initially diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome nearly 10 years ago while I was completing my PhD. Upon completion, I moved back to my home town of Racine, WI and began teaching full-time. My health was beginning to worsen, so I went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN where SLE (Lupus) was added to my initial diagnosis. My workload is limited by my diseases, but I battle everyday to work to be productive. Health insurance is expensive but so are the multitudes of additional medical related products I need to buy to function. I am one of the lucky ones in that I know what I am facing and I have the resources to make my life as easy as I can. We all need to work together to make health care available and affordable to us all.
