You might consider contacting a lupus support group in the areas where you will live and within one hour drive. They may have a Facebook page where you can ask for their input. If you have other autoimmune diseases (Sjogren’s,etc) you could look up those groups in the same area. Alternatively you could see if there is a way to search this site by state and find members that live in those areas. If you temporarily changed the city/state for your profile here in MLT, it will give you suggestions for members in your area. Many of the ones in my area haven’t been on for years but now and then I find someone. Hope some of these suggestions work for you. Best of luck with your search

Sorry, I sure don't. But, maybe you can ask your current Rheumatologist could connect you with one. Good luck, stay safe and take care of yourself.
