I would love to have someone to talk to and just share some coffee or drinks together sometime. Maybe hit the beach and get in some relaxation time!

There is a map on the forum you can check. I seem to remember a weggie in the San Jose area. I just moved down to SoCal from SLO; I'm an example that the map might be out of date so it doesn't hurt to just ask like you did, either!
I know a guy in your area that is on fb.

I hope you can get in touch with someone near you. I just got back from the VF Symposium in Philly and talking to people face to face and sharing experiences was invaluable.
Nothing can break you; you are much stronger than you think... look at what you've already survived.

"You are my sunshine", he used to sing to me... "you make me happy, when skies are grey" I still answer him.
Rest in Peace, my brave Batman and take care of your weggies from heaven, until we meet again.
I'm so glad I got to "meet" you, Alysia, and everyone else on here too. Virtually can be just as good as face to face. I don't mean to be away for periods of time, I’ve just been having lots of ups and downs and been in and out of the hospital. Was there for 5 days over July 4th weekend with horrible chest pain and my resting HR has been super high (100-120s, jumping as high as the 170s just walking to the restroom) and no one seems to have an answer for me. I’m so glad I was still able to make it to Philly. It was a great experience talking with doctors and meeting other Weggies. I’ll make a post later with info and my experience; if you don’t see it in the next day or so, someone please message me. I’m still on 50mg of prednisone and it’s made me super forgetful, even if I have things written on post-its or reminders in my phone.

Hi Rebekah.
Im sorry to hear about your being in the hospital.
I hope things are getting better for you. I remember you wrote that you take this year for rest and recovery, so it must happen soon.
take care of yourself and "return" here soon

Rebekah, I'm feeling so much better after a couple of years of treatment.... I hope it kicks in for you, too, and you can get out of this cycle of feeling bad and having bad symptoms. If you were able to go to Philly, that is a good sign!
