I have had lupus for three years, but I just started get treatment from a lupus specialist at Magee womens hospital. I take a small dose blood pressure medication. But my doctor wants me to take plaqunil and prednesone. But those drugs have so many side affects and I hear so many bad things about how they help one thing but then something else breaks down, Then you are on this cycle of adding on medicine after medicine. I want to live, but I don't want to lose my eyesight, have liver problems, or other complication caused by these medicines. I know their has to be a way of life change, or natural medicine that will help and have less or no side affects. I lived three years without medicine or help. But I do notice that I had more flares lately. I need to make a decision, I recieved my plaqunil in the mail a week ago, i need to decide if I am going to take or find something else that help to present to my doctor at my next appointment. I want to live but not taking alot of medicine

In need to get back home?

I close friend of mine is stuck in another state.
She is flat broke. She is staying with a friend at the moment, but needs to find a way back home in the next week or she'll lose everything she's got back home.

Are there any places she can seek out for help getting back home?
Please no insulting answers. She's a good person, she just found herself in a situation where she had to go to another state to take care of something but had to stay longer than planned and now she has no way to get back home.

Any help would be great. I really feel for her. If I could I would get her up here no question about it, but I'm in a tight bind myself too.
