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.
I am on coumadin so NO NSAD's like ibprofan or alieve etc. I got told to take Tylenol extra HA M&M's would work better.
Sarina, I can understand why you don't want to take the anti-depressants however maybe if you took them for a short time and felt a little better you could work on the underlying problem in you marrage.You don't have to stay on them forever.
I choose not to take pain meds right now as the pain is still at a level I can deal with I am saving them for the future when I cannot cope with it any more. I do not want to build up a tolerance to them now so that they are less affective when I really need them.DebPS Please excuse the typo's my hands are numb today and my left wrist is not at it's best.
I'm on plaqueinil and methetrexate and that's all.
I also did lots of acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
I want to go off my meds but life has been so stressful since I began feeling better, we've been waiting for the other shoe to drop...
