I feel bad for you that you are swelled up all the time! I am already so tired of (and tired) after just 6 weeks of it! I wish there was something they could do for you! I have trouble finding shoes that fit, but not because of this. I lost my right arch last year and now I have to wear certain shoes that A) fit with my plates and B) doesn't hurt , because the muscle on the side of my foot that used to hold up the arch is very sore. Have you ever tried Jobst stockings? I really feel bad for you-it must be terrible to not be able to get shoes that fit! How about going to a place that makes Prosthetic's? They may be able to make you custom made shoes? Just trying to help. :) Cheryl

Close Lupus
I was diagnose 5yrs ago,although I know I've lupus a lot longer. When my symptoms started i refuse to go to the doctor. I suffered many years w/o treatment, physically & mentally. I was pretty much unable to do things for myself. When I finally made it to the doctor, it went in on a stretcher and ended up in the hospital. I guess I was in denial. that I could be sick being young. If I could do it all over again, I would get regular checkups like I should have. The good news is I'm doing good:)
Treatments
- Plaquenil Working / Worked
- no side effects. This med helps me. I still have pain and stiffness, just not like before. W/O this med it would be a lot worse.
- Prednisone Working / Worked
- helps with swelling. i did gain some weight, which i needed since i lost about 40lbs before i was DX.
