Has anyone in Yahoo-land had any experience (first-hand or otherwise) with the disease Lupus?



I am now being tested for this disease (I show some of the "classic" symptoms - unexplained rashes, the facial butterfly rash, fatigue, arthritis, weight loss - and am looking for help in dealing with the disease if I do have it. What drugs have provided relief for you? Alternative therapies?

yes...hubby had SLE....a severe form. Plenty of websites giving help and remedies through diet and excercise to ease symptoms. Good luck xxx also, you could search "lupus" or "SLE" in answers here... Source(s): try visiting http://www.lupusresearch.org/
Lupus is a form of Arthritis. Go visit the Arthritis Foundation in your area & get brochures on the diet. I used to work part-time for the Arthritis Foundation & they are very helpful. Good Luck.
It can be scary when you first find out, but the more information you get, the better. In these days, you live with lupus and manage it - it's not the end of your life. Don't give up, and don't settle for treatment that you don't understand. You need a doctor to work with you to get the best results. There is a lot of information. try BALF.org and LFA.org - there are a lot of links to answer your specific questions.
11 years with lupus, lots of research and public speaking on the subject
