Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 , I am so sorry to hear of your dx... listen there are two kinds, one is systemic and the other just affects the skin and outer parts of the body... the ANA and sed rates will show which you have... my friend has systemic lupus, where it attacks her whole system inside, ... but the good news is that this stuff can disappear as fast as it comes on...... My friend has not had a flare up in over a year.... stress really brings it on for her.... I know you are really having a rough time... I will pray for you girl... focus and keep positive no matter what of your healthy self, and what you will be like, picture it in your head, and think of how you will be when you get there, I believe you will..... I get sores similar to lupus in my nose and rashes, and such, but I have not had a breakout in about one or two..... I noticed that when I am positive in my heart and spirit, I feel the best, I ride my bike, then ache later and hurt, but its worth it, It kicks up my mood in my brain, keeps the depression away,,,,, I have to get out of the house for a couple of hours a day at least..... Love you, and keep me posted or email on how you are.. let me know as soon as the tests come back,,,,, Lupus is so mysterious...... they have so many reasons for its existance....... Prayers to you girl.... love, Iggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
