Anyone Else have Lupus?

I have worked with a few people who have lupus. There is a fair amount that can be done to manage the symptoms from a nutritional point of view. The nutritional programme that you follow must take into account the symptoms that you are going through at the time. This can change from month to month.

I don't have Lupus, but I do have MS. If you have a hard time buying your meds, check out RareDiseases.org. It's a reputable place that helps over 1,000 different "orphaned" diseases. They help me with my MS medicine.

I do not have Lupus, but I found some links I thought might help!arthritis.about.com/od/lupustreatments/index.htm www.uklupus.co.uk/treat.html www.lupus.org/education/brochures/steroids.html

yes, i have lupus too. but as i am alergic to steroids and, it seems, to anything else they wanted to use, my only answer was to change my life style, reduce stress, and come up with some alternatives. (divorce can be a huge stress reducer!) i don't have the serious SLE type. only the kind that scars the skin badly. i finally got angry and started reading the old remedy books. what finally worked for me was yellow dock poultices followed by yellow dock washes. when the worst of it was dried up i switched to plantain poultices, then finally plantain washes and teas. yellow dock is too strong to use for very long. i picked all of these things myself and made them myself. small yellow dock poultices also work for stings, bites, and infections of most types as it draws out swelling and infection. ... when the doctors can't or won't help you sometimes you just have to take the bull by the horns.

My wife is being treated for Lupus. She gets a shot once a week. (the one they give to kemo patients) she's on pecenuil. Her symptoms are achy joints rashes. It came during her pregnancy 8mo ago.

hi I am new here I found out 3 years ago that I have lupus. I would have these break outs mainly on my arms nesk and chest of little red bumps.The doctors said I had allergies to everything around me and I had never had allergies before.They put me on steroids off and on for a year I gained almost 60 lbs. and still had the breakouts.I stayed in the sun alot and now it was June I went back for check up and said please send me to a skin doctor and within 2 days after doing a biopsy on a spot of the rash found out it was lupus.I had steroid cream to put on it and other steroids to take but they didn't make it go away.I have the skin type and your worst enemy is bright lights and the sun,along with stress.Do you know what kind you have I have done some major research on lupus and would be glad to give you more info. it also makes me drag around alot I did find the right med for me for that and would not take anything for being able to keep up with my kids again!Thanks and let me know if I can be of more help!

I just have a question. What EXACTLY is Lupus?

I just have a question. What EXACTLY is Lupus?

I have Lupus(SLE) I have joint pain, get the butterfly rash on my face and due to my weak immune system, I catch everything that is thrown my way. It is hard, some days I just can't seem to get out of bed. I have had liver failure, a stroke and a heart attack, but bounced back from all three. When I am at my wrse, I take Prednisone, which is a bitter-sweet thing because while it gets Lupus in check it plays havoc on your system. Also, because you don't look sick, people don't understand and often treat you badly. Many think you are just using it as an excuse

I got lupus about 7 years ago, during a sickness when the doctor gave me a strong antibiotic, which gave me the lupus. Everyone says when you stop taking the antibiotic the lupus should go away. Well it didnt for me. The effects of lupus are almost non-existant for me for the last 5 years. I went the nutritional approach, with lots of salads and little cooked and no processed foods, raw vegetables whenever possible, it really works!!
