After a few months of feeling like I couldn’t share the flu, I went in to see my primary care doctor. She referred me to a rheumatologist, and I’m waiting for my appointment in a few weeks. The wait is killing me.Meanwhile, my blood work came a few days ago, & I’m preparing myself for a lupus diagnosis based on the following results:-Positive ANA-High DSDNAI also have more than four of the 11

Hi everyone,

I am a 27 yr old male (of european descent).

I was recently diagnosed with SLE 2 weeks ago. It all started with what I thought was the flu in mid Jan, prescribed Tamiflu (which didn’t help). Every 2 weeks after that I would have joint pain in my right knee, eventually came down with a fever again and my knee got really swollen and I couldn’t move it at all.

2 weeks after that my left knee began showing the same symptoms, and also occurred every 2 weeks, but the last occurence was after a month free of flare-ups.

Doc wants to start me on Plaquenil 3 times a week to see if the flare ups subside. Waiting for the okay from the eye doctor, but the fact that the meds can cause photosensitivity, liver/kidney problems, and in rare cases vision loss is a bit concerning for me.I really dont want to start a life long medication if it is not absolutely necessary especially with side effects like that.

I am unsure if I can go without the meds if my flareups stop occurring, or reduce in frequency, or if I am I putting myself at risk of having vital organs randomly affected.

I am going for a second opinion on the 20th to see if its conclusive. Just wanted to join these forums to get some info and hear other peoples stories as well. I know my story is fairly mild compared to others I have seen here, and my heart goes out to those people, it is extremely difficult compared to my case.

Any information is appreciated. TIA.

Hello everyone,

To say that I am freaked out is an understatement.

The rheumatologist our doctor sent me to diagnosed me with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis two weeks ago. It took me a week to even summon the guts to fill the Pacquenil prescription, and another week to start taking it.

I’m an author. I love what I do, but my job is a ball o’ stress. (Deadlines, deadlines and more deadlines, especially in 2013.) I’m freaked out about what will happen when the health insurance company finds out what’s wrong with me – will they cancel our insurance? My husband and I have had a conversation about what this means for our family right now, but I have no idea how to tell him what flares are and how I can manage my health so I can reduce them.

Please tell me it’s normal to be scared and confused. I’ll own the “too chicken to fill and take the prescription” one myself.

Hi, I am 28 years old. Here’s a brief history, and I am just curious if there is anyone out there who can relate and I can talk to about all this. I don’t really have anyone around here and I mostly keep all my personal “health” stuff to myself. I have always been chronicly constipated since birth basically. Scopes and tests done… they figures out that my intestines just don’t want to contact normally like they should, but are healthy and normal and don’t know why. I have had severe chronic migraines from early teenage years, that’s nothing new to me. Just a headache anymore. Been on countless medications and nothing helps. I gave up long ago on trying to fix it. Kidney infections were a constant thing. So much that as soon as the antibiotic round was finished it would come right back. Had scopes and tests done. Biopsies… but to no avail. Now the drs are saying that all the infections over the years have started causing damage with my kidneys. Still can’t figure out why though “I’m just prone to infection.” Fast forward… 1st pregnancy. PRETERM LABOR- stopped my labor 38 times!!!!
