2 years of fighting. Any suggestions?

Admin — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:20:47 +0000

I've had swelling in my hands since I was about 9-10 years old. My mom took me around and everyone just kept saying "She injured her hands playing." or "She's a kid injuries happen we'll take some x-rays."

My mom was for certain in was R.A. (She has her master's in nursing.)

No one ever took it seriously so since it wasn't bothering me she finally gave up. By high school my knee's took to not carrying my weight (130-150lbs) randomly I would be walking all fine and the suddenly inspecting the floor face first.

A Orthopedic surgeon agree to look at my knees for my mom's sake. Came back saying they were "beautiful" and he would kill for knee's like mine. Sent me home with knee stregthening done for athlete's. This only made the issue worse. I started falling more, my knee's hurt more. I kept with the program for 6 months until it became unbearable to walk.

I ignored the issue.

Then September of 2011 I became ill. First it was small. I couldn't eat as much. Then it grew. I would take a bite of food and feel full, worse. It would be all I ate for the whole day. By November. I couldn't hold down food anymore. In 4 months I had lost 32lbs. Finally my PCP took notice. (He was the same one since high school) and decided to start running blood work.

She has been sick for 2 years and was diagnosed yesterday. I educated myself about Lupus before and after she was diagnosed.. But I am in the panic stage and I don't know what to do. Tuesday I should find out what her doctors plan is.. Advise? Words of wisdom you wish you had known when you were new to this? Helpful tools? Warnings? Anything? Please.

new Rhupus Diagnosis

Admin — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:17:31 +0000

I was diagnosed three months ago after a year of illness. I have been on prednisone, Plaquinil (sp) and methotrexate. My symptoms are still uncontrolled and I am still in a huge amount of pain with my right hip, knees, and both ankles. I am terrfied I am going to get hooked on pain meds, but there is no way to make it through the day without them. So, if what I am now is not controlling it, what is usually next?

Just diagnosed, so sad….

Just diagnosed yesterday....I am 33 and a mother of a four year old and 19 mth old. For as long as I can remember I have always been tired but recently it has gotten a lot worse. That along with constant pain onto entire right side led me to seek medical attention. Right now, as I'm trying to process what this all means, all I can do is feel extremely sad. Only because I want to be an active mother for my children. Dr said its mildly active, so that's a good thing right? I don't want my kids to grow up thinking mommy is sick. But I also have read over doing it can make it worse? Is this true?? How do I know if I'm over doing it???

I would love to hear other moms stories and tips on how to adjust to this new life....
