Lichen Sclerosus

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / M.E. Rheumatoid Arthritis

Error

After a diagnosis of RA in 2001 the goal was to keep going. I finally took an early retirement in 2006. Chronic Fatigue soon became evident. In 2016 my symptoms began manifesting themselves. I thought it was a yeast infection. I thought I had an allergic reaction to soaps. Finally at my yearly exam a discussion with my doctor and testing resulted in the diagnosis of LS.
I am currently searching for information. I am astounded at the lack of research and don't seem to understand the stigma attached to this disease. It has been suggested that it could be related to diet, chemicals in our environment, our clothing, our food.
Thanks for reading. Share any information please!
