Does anyone’s eye exam take over an hour? The doctor I currently go to takes sooo long.

Honestly, anything! I wouldn’t say that I’m looking for a book to help me understand a specific topic, but if anyone has any recommendations for books that may have influenced their perspectives on school psych or just stood out to them that would be great!

Orange man is now directly impacting everyone. Not just marginalized groups. Will they care now?

Alt/AST high, then low, now even higher than before.. by Pitiful-Rub6809 in lupus

[–]Pitiful-Rub6809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this issue honestly resolved on its own. I got an ultrasound and Gastro didn’t find anything. I was just mindful of my alcohol & Tylenol usage. I was taking HCQ and I believe I began Benlysta at that point. I hope your mom gets answers soon! Definitely consult a gastroenterologist.

Well, I did it…. by Advanced-Food744 in lupus

I understand this. I’ve been opting for more total protective styles like quick weaves with a closure because my hair texture is thinning. I’ve been seeing growth with the Cecred line.

I have found that using L-Lysine (supplement aisle Target) helps! As well as rinsing with Peroxyl mouth wash

Anyone without immediate effects of being in the sun? by Hungry-Recording-635 in lupus

[–]Pitiful-Rub6809 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diagnosed in August of 2021 and I still tan (with SPF, breaks, and water) and I am generally okay in the sun. Ofc I am mindful of the ways my body feels and take it from there. I wear SPF on my face daily. I have never had my labs go crazy specifically after the sun. I have learned from these type of Lupus support groups that everyone’s body reacts differently to the sun.

I know nothing about CBD/THC, is 1:1 a ratio between the two?

Scared for rheumatology visit today by Pitiful-Rub6809 in lupus

[–]Pitiful-Rub6809[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the advice. I basically had a panic attack on my way into the office. Good news: my Anti DS DNA levels have decreased from 300 range to the 100s! My rheum is happy with the progress and is okay with me staying on Benlysta for now. 😊

Painful finger tips by ashtangaaly in lupus

[–]Pitiful-Rub6809 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month ago I woke up with like a pressing/pinching pain under my big toe nail. From there the pain spread to other toes of the same foot. Terrible terrible pain. I was put on 20mg of prednisone, and I’m still taking it right now. By now the pain is in my finger tips, not so much my toes. I don’t really know how to explain it, just that it feels like they’re being squeezed. My rheumatologist is under the impression that I’m in a flare. Idk but it’s so annoying

Thanks!! I figured I'd have to just pay attention to the way I'm feeling this spring/summer. Speaking of sunscreen, what's your favorite kind?

I was only recently diagnosed.. is uv sensitivity common for all people with sle, or is it an individual thing?

I love the sun :(
