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.
IV's leave marks that can last for months on people with out lupus. On us they last even longer.If the hurt try a warm heating pad. The heat helps the blood to reabsorb back into the tissue, but NOT hot just warm.
I thought my IV marks would never go away seemed like I could still feel the knots there for 6 months.
And the one word everyone with lupus hears get your REST, it helps heal the body and the spirit. Take care Deb
