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.

Yeah I have funny sounds in my ears sometimes. I just try to ignore them.
I get short of breath but I have an irregular heart beat. You may want to tell you doctor about it. Get it checked out to be safe......DEB

Are any of you on Plaquenil? Ringing in the ears can be a side effect...also lups...be careful and make sure you don't have bronchitis or pneumonia, because that is one way my lupus constantly manifests itself...not to mention pleurisy which is inflammation in the lining of the lungs which can cause pain with breating...

Yep I agree of you Deb this might be the side effect of plaquenil.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. 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...
