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 can't use my computer for very long. My face and hands get feel like they are burning and get red. My voice gets weak and it feels like something is choking me. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it the florescent lights?

Yes I have that same problem, but it just started so im not sure what a good treatment would be. I know that with lupus one of the symptoms is sincitiveity to light. Im sincitive to all light even the ones in side. The last few weeks my mouth and throat are so dry it is very hard to swallow when I eat or drink. Lately when ever I swallow it feels as if a porkymine is going down my throat. My hands, fingers, wrist, feet and toes get very red a swollen and get worse thruoght the day. This just started to happen to me as well. My dr to some blood work so im hoping we find out whats wrong and what can be done about it. Once I find out what to do I will let you know. Well I hope you have a healthy weekend. ttyl Julia

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...
