About me

On the internet I am known as Ladymermaid. It is a title that is slowly and steadily becoming associated with my works. It is the name that I write under. I write on the internet because I love to. It is my passion, my play, my hobby and my work.

I am different from other people because I carry a little something called a jo-1 antibody within me. People with these antibodies generally have a distinct syndrome known as "anti-synthetase syndrome". Polymyositis or dermatomyositis, polyarthritis, interstitual lung disease, and raynauds phenomenon are illnesses that are predominent in people with JO-1 antibodies. We may have overlapping symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, scleroderma, raynaulds phenomenon, sjogrens syndrome as well as other inflammatory based illnesses. More simply put, rather than having one disease that remains steady within me, I have a number of inflammatory illnesses that come and go at will. I hope that in my writings, I can offer inspiration or aide to others who have inflammatory illnesses, or to those of you who care about someone who does. For more information on myositis or arthritis please visit: www.myositis.org or www.arthritis.org
