I just learned my best friend has been diagnosed with these diseases. She is having the butterfly rash, joint pain, weakness, and shortness of breath on exertion. This all seems to have come about so suddenly. She's still young (39), although I understand that's a typical age for such diseases to appear.
Initially she was only having the rash sometimes when she got in the sun....suddenly everything started changing.
Since doctors are more geared to suppressing symptoms once they occur, rather than identifying the cause or preventing outbreaks, I wondered if anyone has some good advice about diet, sunscreen, or anything which might help her manage this a little better?
I've read that artificial sweeteners can mimic or magnify diseases like this, but that's about all I know so far. Any help or advice appreciated!
