I would like for this possibly to expand to a website once more participation is garnered, but right now, this is for you! You can send posts anonymously or with your name. I hope one day to be able to screen submissions and pay people a nominal fee for them, but right now this is what we've got.

I will share my story in the future, but what you need to know right now is that I'm 24, a graduate student living in New York City and struggling with an undiagnosed connective tissue disorder that seems to be similar to RA or lupus. I am hoping to get diagnosed in the near future so I may continue on with my life.
