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.
Hi Everyone:
I'm wondering if there's anyone that ever experiences joint and/or muscle pains that can be activated by erratic changes in the weather. I've had absolutely no issues with pain at all until abt a month ago. We are currently in the coldest & worst part of winter in our part of Canada & I find I'm all of a sudden having to deal with it. It's mainly in my hands & sometimes knees & ankles. It usually doesn't come until the evening & I'm wondering if having been out sometimes during the days if it's maybe weather related. Although on days where I don't leave the house I still do have some pain but most of the time not as bad.
I look forward to any thoughts anyone might have.

Hello! I'm sorry you are having pain. I go through the exact same problem. My joints and muscles flare up especially when I'm in a cold environment. Normally the way it happens to me is I'll go to bed with out pain or swelling and when i wake up the joints on my hands, knees and ankles are swollen and hurting. A warm bath or shower and warm clothes tend to relieve the pain with some time. Hope you get to feeling better!

Is anyone here allergic to Sulfa that is currently taking Diamox? I have been diagnosed with IH now for almost 2 years. I am allergic to Sulfa drugs meaning that my throat will swell up so my Neurologist put me on Topamax. I was suffering from major loud whoosing noises and the topamax helped that but everyday I still hear those mainly between 6 - 12 pm. I am at my wits end and have not went...
