I have Lupus and APS. WIth treatment and taking care of yourself you can live a fairly normal life.

Despite the symptoms of lupus and the potential side-effects of treatment, people with lupus can maintain a high quality of life overall. One key to managing lupus is to understand the disease and its impact. Learning to recognize the warning signs of a flare can help the patient take steps to ward it off or reduce its intensity. Many people with lupus experience increased fatigue, pain, a rash, fever, abdominal discomfort, headache, or dizziness just before a flare. Developing strategies to prevent flares can also be helpful, such as learning to recognize your warning signals and maintaining good communication with your doctor.

It is also important for people with lupus to receive regular health care, instead of seeking help only when symptoms worsen. Results from a medical exam and laboratory work on a regular basis allows the doctor to note any changes and to identify and treat flares early. The treatment plan, which is tailored to the individual's specific needs and circumstances, can be adjusted accordingly. If new symptoms are identified early, treatments may be more effective. Other concerns also can be addressed at regular checkups. The doctor can provide guidance about such issues as the use of sunscreens, stress reduction, and the importance of structured exercise and rest, as well as birth control and family planning. Because people with lupus can be more susceptible to infections, the doctor may recommend yearly influenza vaccinations or pneumococcal vaccinations for some patients.

yes you should be careful if you are at the higher risk of getting lupus. My friend has lupus and her both kidneys got shut down and now she is on dialysis. Be careful, it is a very dangerous disease. If y dont take care of yourself, you are going to be a in a big trouble like my friend. you better consult a good doctor and ask for his advice on this matter. dont ignore it. it is a life threatening disease. It has no cure so far but if you stop it on time, it may not spread too far. My friend didnt know she would have to go through such painful time. She is only 25 and is suffering from this deadly disease. take care of urself
Don't despair.God is great.you do not know how He has planned to help you.
