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". We may have overlapping symptoms of polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, Scleroderma, Raynaud's Phenomenon, Sjogrens syndrome as well as other inflammatory based illnesses. More simply put, rather than having one disease that remains steady within me, I seem to have a number of inflammatory illnesses that come and go at will.
My constant search for reasons, and treatments for my illness, are the basis for many of my articles. The many triumphs, and frustrations, that I experience along the way also come through in my writings. If you are interested in viewing more of my articles just Google Ladymermaid. I'm out there.
