I can still remember the first year I had fibromyalgia before the lupus was diagnosis I felt like I was losing my mind. It took a long time for my doctor to listen to me that my pain was real and I finally had to beg him to give me something for the pain. I told him it was getting to the point that I could not stand the pain while working and it was interfering with my life. He was apprehensive to give me something at first, but he finally caved and gave me tramadol for my pain. I was able to learn what you should know about tramadol drug online because I wanted to still be able to function at work. I looked up all the side effects and if I would be able to take the medication without falling asleep. When I was on the medication I was not able to buy tramadol blue book . When I was taking it they only had the brand name, but since then they have a generic it’s cheaper and more people can afford to buy the medication on a budget. It was not an easy year to find out I had to deal with this pain every single day of my life. It wasn’t much longer that I learned that I had lupus.

I’m very concerned with your illness and pain.
I don’t know much about lupus, shame on me… I’ll learn from your blog
Stay strong and keep the hope
Hi,
Medication on a budjet does not sound good, have a read maybe it is time to move in a new direction. Just a few observations I have made. Have you noticed that modern medicine says they need your money to find a cure and yet they have not found a cure in 60 years, 0. And autoimmune diseases like Lupus disease are interesting there are approximately 80 to 100 with another 40 waiting for a name and if you get one you will get another and so on. And medical science cannot explain why we have this autoimmune epidemic. You can trigger one of them just by having an auto accident, taking aspirin or medication or by starting a new exercise routine, even too much stress says latest research. Naturopathic medicine says, “Look for the root, it is in the basics beginning with what is on your fork, what toxins are in your body, what exercise do you do, what stress is in your life, what is your spiritual base”. Scientific arrogance has led us down the wrong path we better stop and take a close look at what is happening. This month 150 new chemicals will be added to the 85,000 which are part of the autoimmune problem. They will be added too industry with no oversight control at all. Autoimmune disease is the worst kind of contradiction; for an Lupus sufferer you are attacking your body with your immune system, a world upside down. God bless you in your search.
Sincerely
Paul
Dessy,
You can go to the Lupus Foundation to find out information on lupus
I’ve been living with this for four and a half years now. It is sooooooo frustrating! I do not have an “official” diagnosis of Lupus but my rheumatologist says that’s what it is. I guess I should be thankful that I don’t have enough symptoms for an “offical” diagnosis though. I have positive ana, mouth ulcers, all over muscle and joint pain/swelling, fatigue, chronically low vitamin D – (starting a RX for that again) hair loss and Raynaud’s disease. I am usually very upbeat but today I am just beat!
I am tired of living with daily pain that is invisible to everyone else!I just needed to vent a little and I appreciate that you have this site! Thanks!!!
Isn’t life swell? Makes one wonder why? Why not give me parkinson’s too? Why stop now? Geez, we gotta just laugh sometimes, I know with FMS even crying can hurt. Had a friend at old job, she had FMS, then Lupus, then died suddenly of a heart attack. I guess life just wants us to keep guessing.
Diane,
Yeah, it all does seem to hit you in the face like a pack of bricks. Yeah FMS can even hurt when someone hugs you too.

Tina,
I know what you mean when you say its frustrating. Somedays I just feel like I’m going crazy.The most frustrating part is being exhausted walking across the room at times. The joint pain is just horriable.

I used to take Ultram for pain but those pills made me loopier than I am with the brain fog from the Fibro. I would forget that I said something a minute after I said it. Thank goodness I didn’t drive then! Now I have a rhuematologist who actually treats my Fibro pain with injection when I need them. What a relief!
Connie Foggles,
Yeah, Some medications give you strange reactions.

Deet,
Don’t ever feel folish complaing about your pain. It does something to you when you live with pain day after day with little relief. I’ll say a pray for you.
CC
Thanks so much cc. Very nice of you to be so
thoughful.
Dee
Deet,
Your welcome,we all need encouragement.
You know that saying is soo true. You don’t
know what you have until you lose it.
Some things we all take for granted at one
time or another,but then whn its not there,only
then do we realise how blessed we are.
So True, So True
