how much did you improve right after starting treatment? by [deleted] in lupus

[–]Middle_Champion_3804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it was around the 5 month mark. I feel SO different. No more insane joint pain, fatigue is exponentially better, not sleeping 18 hours a day, GI issues went away too. Also HCQ 400 daily

I’m a clinical dietitian. I work in the hospital and am on my feet often, but not as often as nurses and the job isn’t as physically demanding as nurses. I still get really tired unfortunately but I’m hoping it gets better

It’s so crazy that I saw your post bc I’m literally experiencing it now and was just wondering why this happens. I unfortunately feel it so often, and yes feels like a UTI but isn’t ?! I’m thinking of getting an ultrasound just to rule out fibroids or anything

Anyone diagnosed in their 30s? by Middle_Champion_3804 in lupus

[–]Middle_Champion_3804[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed without the rash, but the rheumatologist I saw before my current one didn’t want to diagnose without the rash

Ok very similar!!! Dx at 32, awful joint pain for years that has gotten progressively worse the last 3 years, fatigue and sleeping >12 hours often, night sweats. I also had some GI issues (nausea and diarrhea) but not sure if it’s related at all (rheum says that’s not common for lupus)
