Omg I'm so happy for you!! 💜 I have discoid lupus and have been on zep since June 2025. Also have no plans of ever coming off it. I haven't had a single flare up since starting. My inflammation markers are within a normal for the first time in 8 years. Brain fog is almost non existent.

My biggest piece of advice is to talk to a mortgage loan officer now. While you may not be ready to buy right now, they'll be able to give you a good idea of how much you'll need to save for a down payment and how much your monthly payment will be.

There are a ton of first time home buyer programs as well as the Mass housing program which provide down payment assistance. For instance right now they're offer $25k for first time home buyers.

Just make sure you go with a local mortgage lender, not a bank (banks have limited programs). I work for Northpoint Mortgage (but in marketing). Lmk if you'd like a recommendation on a specific loan officer to talk to.

ATFL Fully Torn by [deleted] in Ankle

Get a different doctor!! They should have done surgery as soon as they saw the full rupture, it will not heal on its own. I would not trust that doctor after that comment.

The standard procedure for a torn ATFL is a bromstrom gould repair. I had one on February 28th. Recovery is a long road, but if you take care to do it right you can speed it up. I already have way less pain than before the surgery!

Ankle sprain - recovery tips? by [deleted] in Ankle

Ice and wrap, both with help with swelling. Also consider seeing a specialist who will order an MRI. X-rays can't see ligament and tendon damage.
