I suffer from advanced rheumatoid arthritis It inflames all systems.What are symptoms of Lupus?

Question

I've had 6 joint replacements & 10 surgeries. But still suffer from flu-like digestive sys inflamation. No dairy, eggs, meat; vegan diet with herbal and other suppliments. At least I can walk, but the selfishness and cruel judgeing from biological family members and others causes me to grieve, because I love and pray for them and myself. Jesus wept a lot too. Ability to love is not about others; It's about oneself, and God is the only witness that sees true.It is the small gestures of kindness and mercy that have the greatest meaning to someone who suffers. You don't have to rescue them; just acknowledge them as still part of humanity. Go to others with something to share, and not with emptyness expecting others to fill you. Only you can rescue you from false identity, and still love. Purify your thoughts and heartfelt intentions. That's what we're here to learn. We are not our bodies. This world is only a shadow of the true world.

Answer 1

There are two types of Lupus:
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE)
and Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

The only symptom of DLE is a butterfly-shaped facial rash that may spread to the forehead or the scalp.

Symptoms of SLE include facial rash, fever, fatigue and malaise, joint and muscle pain, weight loss, hair loss, sensitivity to the sun, mouth sores, vulnerability to illness, enlarged lymph nodes, nausea, constipation or diarrhea, recurring bladder infections, and presence of lupus antibodies in the blood.


As a side note, have you every tried Bach Flower Remedies. Edward Bach's theories on illness might interest you, so if you can find his book Heal Thyself, you'd learn a lot.
His research has shown that people who develop arthritis and other diseases leading to stiffness or rigidity is a reflection of the same in the person's character or mindset.
I'm not accusing you of anything here, please understand. I read the book a couple of weeks ago, to learn more about myself and why I'm prone to certain things. It took a couple of days to get my head around it, but it's powerful stuff.
Good luck, hon :)

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Lupus?

Lupus may be hard to diagnose. It’s often mistaken for other diseases. For this reason, lupus has been called the “great imitator.” The signs of lupus differ from person to person. Some people have just a few signs; others have more.

Common signs of lupus are:

*

Red rash or color change on the face, often in the shape of a butterfly across the nose and cheeks
*

Painful or swollen joints
*

Unexplained fever
*

Chest pain with deep breathing
*

Swollen glands
*

Extreme fatigue (feeling tired all the time)
*

Unusual hair loss (mainly on the scalp)
*

Pale or purple fingers or toes from cold or stress
*

Sensitivity to the sun
*

Low blood count
*

Depression, trouble thinking, and/or memory problems

Other signs are mouth sores, unexplained seizures (convulsions), “seeing things” (hallucinations), repeated miscarriages, and unexplained kidney problems.

Answer 3

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.

If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.

Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.

And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.

I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.

It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.

Today, I want to do the same for you!

Answer 4

Go to webmd; ask your doctor and it is hard to be diagnosed with lupus because of flare ups and lengthy time factors...time factors is episodes and length of episodes let alone time in between episodes...no test for lupus...ANA antibody test tells if the antibody for lupus is there but need more factors....I know pain is hard to deal with but I hope you find peace...your above is factual.
