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.

Hello fellow DS. I really have problem. I was so tired ot being sick of this. My joint hurts back started yesterday.This is what I felt when I was not yet diagnose of lupus. As in, this really reminds me when I could hardly get up in the bed bec. of my joints pain. When I have that prednisone it all gone but then I suffer horrible side effects. Ok, I hate both...the side effects of Preds and the joints pain. Last tuesday I stopped taking preds for docs. order and thats what I got joints pain on thursday. Is there anyone outthere that when they stop taking prednisone and then their joints pain will come back? I really dont know what to do. If I am going to tell my doc and then I will suffer the side effect of prednisone forever I guess....hohohoho I am so tired of being sick.
