Becky,
I know it’s very difficult. The most important thing I’ve learned is keeping my mind busy. Do you like crafting? games on computer? Find a hobby you’ll look forward to doing. Hang in there. I know where you are since I’ve felt that way. There are a lot of great programs out there to help with things. Feel free to email me…..

Margie,
So sorry to hear your fighting with the lupus. I hate taking the medications, but I’m thankful for the medications. Make sure you have your vitamin d level checked. My teeth have been an issue for since my teen years.

I am so glad I found this blog, I have lupus my mom an two of her nieces its been in our family for over forty years it strange it treats each one of different, I lost my hair my scalp itches me to death, my kidneys, my lungs I take ton of med twice a day. I try not to get depress I been told by doctors not to have kids life really can get you down when I look at everyone else enjoying life. It is so sad I am unable to work I have a bad cough from my lungs. I use to work at the local telephone company wich I was around folks all day with the med I take for my Kindneys makes it hard for my body to fight of infections an it also makes me have gingivitus of the gum. So one day I may have to ha all my teeth pull out. So I am really feeling Blue………

I agree, we need to be our own best advocate. I like my Rheumatologitst procedure. At my previous appointment he gives me the slip for bloodwork. I go to the lab the week before my next appointment. Dr. gets my results before my next appointment. Then at my appointment, the nurse gives me a copy of my results so I can go over them with the doctor. Everything is dealt with in the moment. Then I leave with my next bloodwork paperwork. This system works great for me…but being just recently diagnosed, I just thought it was standard for all.

John,
You can call your friend to ask how she’s feeling. When she’s having a bad day ask her if she’s tried certain things such as: heat, ice, or take pain medication.

My friend has been suffering from a chronic degenerative autoimmune disorder with no established treatment protocol for the past 8 years. She has severe pain and fatigue caused by peripheral neuropathy. She spent the last year providing hospice care to her mother who recently passed away. She is now deeply depressed and despairing. She is struggling to make it through each day. I live far from her. What can I do? What can she do?
