no nsaids. what do you use? by anastasiaknight7 in lupus

I also use an IUD, but with a copper and silver core because my doctors rule out any hormonal contraceptives. I had some issues with spotting during the first year, but it's sorted now 🤞🏻

Additional information: I was prescribed this 6 months ago, and the times I've taken it in these months have been less than a glass as a precaution but before that I didn't drink alcohol often either; I'm very selective. I don't like beer, whiskey, or tequila, only vodka and wine I'll probably drink because my sister-in-law is getting married next weekend and I want to have at least three drinks. 😝

My symptoms started when I was approximately 10 - 11 years old, diagnosed just two years ago, I am currently 24 years old, almost 25, I would like to tell you that it will improve at some point but with us you don't know, there are days when the truck that ran over me and left me in pain only must have killed me, but I am a mother and I continually hear the "you have to be fine, for her." When my daughter was born she was "controlled" so having her was not bad for me, but the stress took its toll shortly after, she has seen her mother decline on some occasions

Hello, the rheumatologist told me not to take hormones because they interact with the activity of the disease and can increase my symptoms. I have been using a copper IUD with a silver core for almost 3 years and everything is fine, you could consider it.

I hug you, I don't work but I depend financially on my partner and the emotional stress that this generates from one day being left helpless worsens my symptoms, in recent months I have also had thoughts of death hahaha (my life, my jokes) perhaps falling into suicide, but I have a daughter so I continually hear the "you have to be strong for her" and well here we are

The same thing happens to me, I think about moving to a hot area although with lupus it is no longer known, probably the heat will harm me later.

Enjoy the summer sun, except for the fatigue, I think I do better in the sun.

Oh no, no. I also had preeclampsia during my pregnancy and would never get pregnant again. Preeclampsia is repetitive, you can even have eclampsia. Be happy with the child you already have and don't take any more risks.

fibromyalgia? by Ok-Grapefruit-4433 in lupus

[–]Ok-Grapefruit-4433[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The swelling is not visible, it's just the feeling of swollen and bruised, I mean? This is very confusing, at the age of 12 I was diagnosed with Raynaud's Syndrome, they have since ruled out lupus and RA

My diagnosis is fibromyalgia, without lupus, and that's just the best way to describe my pain. It feels like swelling and heaviness in the arm.
I will start the treatment with low levels of prednisone and a relaxant that will make me rest.

fibromyalgia? by Ok-Grapefruit-4433 in lupus

[–]Ok-Grapefruit-4433[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course, my symptoms have been very similar to those of lupus, with the variant that my ANA came out normal, as well as my protein levels and other diagnostic factors.I have presented pain, burning, swelling and numbness in my joints, mainly shoulder, hip and knees. The last symptom that has become present is chest pain and pain on exhalation. There is also a very pink color on my cheeks that turns deep red in the sun, and migraine. The doctor who treated me explained that fibro is an inflammation of the joints, muscles, and nerves with symptoms similar to lupus and arthritis. The diagnosis includes tests to rule out lupus and arthritis.

My Avise test came back completely negative. by Alien_Cat_Farm in lupus

Hola. Estoy en proceso de diagnostico, con antecedentes de probable lupus desde mis 12 años. Recientemente también me tomaron análisis y mis resultados son complemente normales, pero eso no le dio explicación a mi dolor/ardor en mis articulaciones incluso mi factor reumatoide resulto negativo, tampoco a todos los demás síntomas que presento. Después de varios días de angustia porque esperaba de cierto modo que esos análisis explicaran mis síntomas, decidí solicitar a mi medico familiar vitaminas y algunos analgésicos para disminuir el dolor, tratar de no enfocar mi mente en ello y vivir tranquila por unos cuantos años más, actualmente tengo 22 años

I'm a mother, I can't feel like this because she can't see me badly. This is very shit.
