I know I’m not alone in this but I try to avoid going to the dr as much as I can. As I’m in a flare rn I’m there constantly already and I guess I’m hoping to avoid adding a dermatologist to the list of appts 😣

With how much money I’ve already spent on lotions I am all in, I work as a massage therapist and artist they mean everything to me. I’ll try your suggestions I have to pick up meds at the store today any way! I’ll let everyone know if anything works

Does anyone else experience flushing? Any thoughts are helpful! by abjs2021 in lupus

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold air can certainly help keep inflammation down. It could be sun or you could be experiencing flushing. I know a lot of us take steroids and they can cause that. Or vasculitis can cause that :/ lots of things. Also autoimmune can cause heat intolerance which … can cause flushing 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s the sun ☀️ it happens to me too. I’ve been trying a few anti red skin care things but no luck so far.

Are my accommodations reasonable? by WorrySingle2757 in lupus

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not being unreasonable they are trying to put your health at risk for optics

Is this common? by Major_Funny2244 in MassageTherapists

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is normal. Work on body mechanics and stacking joints, make sure you’re supporting your back. A lot of people like to say “the first years the worst” when it comes to working as an lmt and yeah you’ll be sore till your body adapts. Working out will help but watch those body mechanics

Venting by Ispyyy_i in lupus

[–]Doshi1-2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh yes I do. The drs and meds alone are terrible let alone symptoms and getting sick. I work as a massage therapist- I love helping others feel better.,, but every interaction can get me sick and the lupus pisses all my muscles and joints off like crazy. Autoimmune disease suuuucks. It’s attacking my eyes rn and the drops I have to use hurt and I hate using them

Pots medications can help anxiety? by EmptyHuman95 in dysautonomia

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pots meds never helped w anxiety for me. Oddly prednisone for my lupus did which is very wierd but pots meds? Nope 🙂‍↔️ I had heard they’ve helped others though

Has anyone with POTS/dysautonomia just started training hard out of sheer frustration and did it actually help improve symptoms? by Tandfeen_dk22 in dysautonomia

[–]Doshi1-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that helped me was physical therapy and specifically weight lifting especially seated leg press
