    • About Me

      I am coming in with a new attitude; to be of help only. To encourage others who are suffering from Lupus as I am. I want to be unconditionally supportive and handle constructive criticism at any point. I want to give back for all the support I have received over the years. I want to be a positive person on this go around and learn from my mistakes.

      I was diagnosed with severe depressive disorder until I had a manic psychosis episode last january and ended up at Yale Psychiatric. I loved the high. It was truly the best I have ever felt.

    • Open Chronic Pain

      I have mixed connective tissue disease. Lupus etc... I am in high amounts of pain all the time. I have been fired from two docs because they think i was pain seeking it has been highly frustrating. i have to find a new pain management doc. I have a history of suicied attempts and substance abuse so docs are afraid of me. I swear to all I am not abusing. my tolerance is so high. and my pain is excrutiating. so i hope i can get some support from this site.

      yes, but, i need a lot in one dose to work

    • Open Lupus

      I went off this site because of attacks from few members; I have received replies that others want me back. Im going to come back and ignore those other members. I deserve support for my Lupus as does everyone.

      Treatments

      Folic Acid Too Soon to Tell
      I have been on 5 mg of predisone a day and it is helping somewhat. I go to Johns Hopkins May 15 and the 20th to get test results on my lungs and heart and to see what drug cocktail I can be on to put it into a remission state.
