I could see the sodium being a problem or an allergic reaction but here's the thing..they aren't red. And now the most notable hand trembles when it is palm up. My left is fine....
Has anyone had flares affect your hands? My hands have hurt for a couple of years now but today I notice my palms are shiny and it looks like I have blisters. Goodness knows I haven't done anything...
I have always ignored the ringing in my ears because it was the least of my troubles. The past couple of weeks it has increased to almost 24/7 and my ears ache. The ache isn't the throbbing I've had...
I am waiting on my reconsideration, have been denied twice now. Sadly, if I am not approved I am going to have to go back to some sort of work. I have no clue what I will find but that is a whole...
:smile: That makes more sense. Some of my family has thyroid and adrenal issues but no Lupus. And I don't have the dx either BUT something isn't right with me and it seems to match. Hopefully one...
Hang in there! It sounds like you are getting decent care right now, so that's something....
Hmm..that is weird then. How would they know that? I know at one time a doc was concerned about Ankylosing Spondylitis - isn't that inherited? *confused*...
I am dealing with that quite often now. Any time I sit in a straight chair it happens. I also have RLS sometimes too and that is torture....
Interesting stuff. Does anyone know what "genological abnormality' might mean? I haven't been able to get the records from my Rheumatologist lately but this is listed on a couple of previous forms. I...
36/38HH here!! I am not working right now so I can relax a bit but still need something. It sounds crazy probably but I got some of the genie bras (have to get the 2/3x). Around the house and days...
Sorry things are so rough for you....
I don't think so, not exactly. My hands feel like I am working through mud most days and sometimes they feel like they are going to pop out of joint, no popping noise, just a feeling. Strange,...
I'm glad that you already have the equipment, sorry that you have to use it of course. :-)...
Cymbalta made me incredibly sleepy at first but after a couple of weeks I finally felt human again. It seemed to take the edge off my sensitivity. I had gotten to the point of not being able to rest...
Barbara do you have sleep apnea by chance? If that has not been mentioned you might want to do some research on the elevated co2 levels and using cpap therapy. I hope that you get some relief soon....
How does Kleenex arrive? On an Ahh-Choo-Choo train. *so bad I'm sorry!*...
I got nothing except 'I'm sorry' and that I am not facing what you are by any means but I do understand how you feel. :yeah:...
I go outside so rarely that I haven't looked into SPF clothing but I do wear sunscreen if I believe I will be outside. I'm wondering if one reason I was having trouble at work for so long is because...
Explain what's been happening in detail, how long it happens, and when it happens. Don't try to self diagnose. Just present the facts and let them take over.[/quote][i] Do any of you keep a journal?...
I think I had a bad reaction to a codeine tablet. I was feeling fine except for my neck/shoulder. I've pinched a nerve and having sharp pains shoot up my neck and head, so I was icing it after lunch...
I get a terrible burning sensation if I am in the sun, or say if riding in the car with direct sunlight, it feels like a pop of grease does. It also makes me drained and sick to my stomach. I am also...
I do not have a dx of Lupus but every time something happens health wise I read about symptoms and ALWAYS have Lupus come up, have people ask me if it's whats wrong with me, have had doc at ER ask me...
I guess it doesn't look bad but my arms hurt so badly. My inner elbows swell, stay red (two perfect red circles usually). I wanted to delete my post but I don't think I can....
It may not look like much (not as bad as it's been but lost older pics!) but this happens to me quite often. I simply did some laundry yesterday and made the bed, ended up with sore, red, and tender...
I am so glad I found this site! I thought I was going crazy with the leaning feeling - especially when I wake up. I also have bouts of feeling like I will faint. I almost sat down in the middle of...
I couldn't remember if I had taken a shower today until I went to the bathroom and felt the towels in the hamper.. New here by the way!...
I'm jumping in here after finding this tonight. I do not have the dx of Lupus, I have FMS and back/joint issues but I am having a hard time with sunlight - more than 5 mins and I feel like I am on...
