I have systemic Lupus. It doesn’t have to be a death sentence. You can read the book The Lupus Recovery Diet. It works. Nutrition and dietary supplements can improve your health and stave off a major illness’ symptoms. I was diagnosed 9 years ago and have not had one hospitalization. If you are unsure if it is Lupus just ask your doctor to do a simple blood test called an ANA. Anti Nuclear antibodies test. If it’s positive you have Lupus.
Stay strong..I too have em’ hoodwinked with systemic lupus and fibro…it’s not the “end” when you get the diagnosis it’s the “beginning” of taking back control of your life..Good Luck!
Erin,
Lupus, Fibro, Unspecified Auto-Immune Deficiency. All of these are part of the ladies in my family. We think the difference for us is being bitchy and telling Lupus and Fibro and all the pains to Suckit! Also it has helped immensely to do some hypnotherapy.
Nothing but good vibes and positive energy your way.

I am so sorry to hear of your new diagnosis, but please know that there are so many of us out there in cyberland…. that have compassion, tips advice etc. If you need anything- touch base.
I have been sick, sick, sick for the last 2 years now and I have had test after test, too. We know it’s an auto-immune disorder & have ruled out thyroid and RA, and it looks a lot like Lupus but Lupus is SO hard to diagnose. Can you tell me, how did you finally get your diagnosis? Do I need to bust into my Dr’s office at the first sign of the damn rash? Because this sucks. Constant elevated sed rates, low white blood count, achy, overall blahness. UGH.
Thank goodness you know what’s up now, I swear the wondering is driving me insane.

The world has so many idiots, we need you out there kicking ass, er hoodwinking.
I, for one, will enjoy observing the hoodwinking, certain it shall be done in style.

This is just a sign from God that you need to…kick ass.

So… it is Lupus? Or I’m being hoodwinked?
Questions I shouldn’t try to figure out on Ambien.
Hang in there hon.
Autoimmune stuff isn’t the end of the world. It’s just the end of the ‘what the heck is it?’ treadmill. (Well, kinda.)
((hug))
SIGH. It sucks when anybody gets sick but for some reason I’m extra upset that YOU are so sick. Love to you and all those crazy Vests.
Wait, that means you’re one step closer to being Lady Gaga, right?

I have lupus too, and I’ve always hated that line on house.

Peggy – ANA. Anti Nuclear antibodies test is NOT a definitive test for Lupus. There are 11 markers for Lupus., that’s just one of them. you can have that marker and not have Lupus.

Ha, amazing. I’ve got to bookmark this clip. Everyone always tells me to watch House..especially the episode where the girl liveblogs her hospital experience. I’m no stranger to that! (I did it last month: http://www.kelly-bergin.com/2010/07/today-is-friday-says-eraseboard-on-my.html)
