Info on new treatments for lupus...? |
i've had discoid lupus for almost 30 years. i have it primarily on my face now and it's painful and it bothers me alot. plus it looks awful, like i've been in a fire. i took plaquenil for years and it didn't help, just gave me liver problems. doesn anyone know of any new treatments? if so please help. I don't know if it's a "new" treatment, but natural progesterone is working wonders for people with auto-immune disorders, including lupus. The onset of autoimmune disorders occurs most often in middle-aged women - the time of life when estrogen dominance becomes common. Recent studies have shown that women who use HRT containing estrogen (estradiol) are more likely to get lupus. Birth control pills also cause autoimmune diseases by causing the body to form antibodies to its own hormones. It's well known that autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (MS) often go into remission during pregnancy (when our body manufactures high levels of progesterone and estriol), only to return in force after child-birth. Correcting estrogen dominance by blocking estradiol estrogen action using estriol in conjunction with progesterone can lead to a gradual improvement. Other hormones may also be at play with auto-immune disorders: estrogen, cortisol, DHEA, and progesterone should all be considered. |
