Lupus Support Group
Lupus is an auto-immune disease in which the immune system cannot distinguish between threats (like viruses and bacteria), and healthy cells and tissue. As a result, the body produces antibodies that inflict cell damage, most commonly targeting joints, skin, kidneys and the nervous system. Join the group and find support for coping with lupus.

Well, one thing that I have found with disease is your limits! My rhume. suggested Yoga only...and I understand why. It's all my body could take. It's really hard some days but I make myself do it and I have to say that I do feel better when I get through it. I got the Better Belly Yoga DVD from Prevention. I live in a small town so doing it at home is much more convenient not to mention I like the privacy. Try it, it might just work for you too, but I suggest asking your doctor first before you decide on anything. Best of luck to you.

Lack of muscle strength is one of my most disturbing symptoms besides the memory confusion. I did not know Lupus affects the muscles.

I do best when I can get to the arthritis pool. This is a no weight bearing exercise and it really helps me relieve my pain without hurting myself. PLUS I love the warm water and the jets.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
