- Rheumy sent me to balance guy at ENT Center after my latest fall. I had NO idea what I was in for, evidently so I would actually go. They said I had to have a driver as they were going to run some tests that would make me dizzy. I was put in a...
- What is it with this disease, or meds associated with it, that I fall all the time. Really hating it!Last time I had a bad spill I stepped off a curb, landed on my side and cracked two ribs. Usually it's down stairs. I get to the point I must look...
- One of these times I'm sure to snap my neck.I fell Friday night, it's Monday and I'm still trying to recover. I seem to take longer to recover each time. WTH?I walk like a grandma, which I guess I am a grandma, but I'm only 49. I walk slowly and...
- I'm thinking about disability.I'm very novice at this, just having recently claimed unemployment for the 1st time.Is there anyone in Utah that is on disability that can give me a jumping off point?I've read about it and the first bit sounds like I'm...

- Has anyone had a bad reaction to this form of massage?I did it for the 1st time last week and went into a flare. I'm still in pain a week later. He was a strapping young man and I told him I have lupus and to not hurt me. It didn't hurt at the...
- I have everything set up for my gall bladder surgery. No big deal, other than all the paper work at work that must be done.So.....Dr. Irvine, the surgeon, calls me. Sets me up for the 18th. Quick in and out unless I spend the night for observation...
- I hope you have a safe and happy holiday. I'm so very thankful for all of you.XOXO-Teisha
- I have never taken imodium in my 46 years.I've never had IBS issues or 'nervous' stomach.Until this last month that is. I have taken 7 pills now. No new meds-no new diet.No rhyme or reason to this. 1. Hit me at work at 1:30 pm and I had to leave...
- It's much more relaxing to sit here and make excuses.I like Charles Barkley's response to exercise:I don't lift weights 'cuz their heavyI don't run 'cuz it makes me tiredI've heard the saying, "I've never felt bad that I did exercise". Hmmmm.....I...
- but I really don't want to
- I just joined today.This group is so positive. It seems more supportive of the emotional and psychological effects of having a pain riddled life with a chronic disease. I can Google all the info out there on Lupus and MCTD as far as the specifics of...
