Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have some questions. Are there different kinds of Lupus? As anyone heard of a pain pill called Norco? My ex husband has Lupus and he told me that his doctor gave him that for the pain. Right know I am not taking in pain pills for pain. I am taking antiflamator and Plaquinel for the Lupus. I am getting urnine infections alot, is that normal when you have Lupus? My doctor is out for the week, so I can not ask him these questions. I go see him in July and will ask him these questions also. Just wantin to get some heads up on things.

I know it deforms the bones. My dad and my aunt have had finger joints replaced, toe joints, knees, elbows etc. But they don't have any organ involvment. > > > > [This message contained attachments] > > > > ________________________________________________________________________ > ________________________________________________________________________ > > Message: 4 > Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 21:31:34 -0700 > > Subject: By-by Deanna > > http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001> Vacation 2 > http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001> Hot TubHave a real good > time! > http://www.mymailsignature.com> > > > > _____ > > From: barb holkins > Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 5:09 AM > To: LUPIES > Subject: Re: Deanna (the Momma) > > > > > We are about to get ready to leave for a couple of days.
