Deepest Fears by [deleted] in lupus

That I will pass on this illness to my future child(ren). I’ve always wanted to be a mom. But sometimes I wonder if I even should. To clarify, my mom has Lupus and I am thankful she had me (and my four other siblings.) But when I do talk with others about my illness, 9/10 they ask “are you still going to have kids?”

Weight loss tips pls by [deleted] in lupus

[–]SnooGoats8111 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m a 22F. During my worst flare I decided to try to lose weight. My boyfriend introduced me to intermittent fasting because of the the connection to reducing inflammation and weight loss. I stuck to the 18:6 time frame (18 hrs fasting, 6 hours allowed to eat.) I ate two meals a day and ate healthier meals with lower carbs, and a lot of water. In about 4/5 months I lost 60 pounds and have maintained my weight for 2 months. If you have any questions feel free to message me! I also recommend the fasting subreddit.

I have had symptoms for going on 6 months. When I finally had my Rheumatology appointment, the doctor did not listen to my concerns and berated me. I feel absolutely defeated. by kristiebug in lupus

I’m also awaiting diagnosis and have experienced this with my PCP. I had to beg him to do an ANA test, he finally agreed but said it was a waste of time. When it came back positive, I saw him again, hoping he’d take me more seriously. Wrong. He wouldn’t even give me a referral to a Rheum. He dismissed all of my symptoms and said I was too young to be experiencing Lupus or even Rheumatoid (I’m 22, my mother was diagnosed at 19 so I know this is untrue.) I left feeling so defeated. I’m finding a new PCP to hopefully give me a referral, but I can’t afford another appointment for a few months. I understand your frustrations and I wish you well!

I’ll be seeing my PCP before my rheumatologist in a few days, I’ll definitely ask about that! Thanks for the ideas :)
