  • Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which your body’s immune system attacks healthy cells and tissue. There is no cure, and the disease can pose serious, sometimes fatal complications, such as kidney damage and cardiovascular disease. Here are five early signs of lupus to watch out for.

    I have lupus and constantly suffering from chronic pain and can't sleep, no appetite because of the nausea. I don't have the butterfly rash on my face but coz of the chronic pain I go through everyday of my life my face turns red like I'm using blush...
    For many years I've been battling lupus and unfortunately I've been diagnosed countless times with anemia, kidney problems, headaches, nausea, collapsing anywhere, can't handle cold or hot weather, always covering up and using alot more clothes than anyone else, having the flu and never getting better, and the list goes on...
    I suffer from anxiety and depression. Many times I wanted to end my life and more coz of the pain I was in. I hated this person I've become, it wasn't me.
    But now I know what I have lupus and overlapping scleroderma....
    And now everyday I wake up, with my swallen face, fingers, and I'm ready to face the unknown and that's how I feel about lupus you never know what to expect next...
    So no matter what life throws at me this I'M A WARRIOR, FIGHTER.... No matter the weather we are in this together... You'll never know how strong you are until you try and let the warrior come out in you..... ♥️😘🦋🦋

      Yes, I highly agree. Diagnosed with so much and the symptoms have been there for years.
      Although, I caught Covid in June/2022, in my opinion, I do feel Covid brought a lot of illnesses out and to end stages. Unfortunately, I'm severely allergic to multiple meds so I am on all perscribed vitamins and herbs, some fruits and some vegetables. I actually feel much better within my soul, than I do my body.
      Many doctors always said, it's just in your head.... Ankylosing Spondylitis, lupus, multiple Sclerosis etc... take care of yourself and my prayers 🙏🏼

      Hi there, whatever e illness. Do a detox programme. Basically all diseases are due to a built up of toxin. Grudually, the vital organs like liver and kidneys began to break down. These 2 organs are the main waste disposal elements in a human body.
      Therefore, the sick must do a detox : cut off if possible sugar, salt, oily and spicy foods, fast foods, preserved foods, carbs, glutens, dairys, red meat, seafoods... all these foods are very difficult for a sick person to digest.
      Try a light diet: more vegs esp green, some fruits(some like banana has too much sugar),
      White meat like salmon, chicken, turkey, no pork becos its very toxic, nuts, olive oil...
      Myself had fatty liver and high colestriol. Was led to diet by the Spirit of God after followin His command to tithe last saturday in church. After 1 week dietin was much better alry🙌🏻👑✝️⚖🛡🛐🛐🛐🦅🕊🕊🕊🙂
      Edit: Was Miraclely healed of severe covid on 3rd day after contractin e disease by not wearin mask while travellin in e bus on may 30, 2020.
      I prayed and was waitin to see doctor 3 hr later when clinic open. Meantime, took 100gm of licorice and boil it in abt 3 cups of water. Drank it and was healed. China also use this medicine.😊

    I seem to have almost everything associated with Lupus except the butterfly rash. I have Sjogren's, Hypothyroidism, Psoriatic Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Fibromyalgia, and a digestive disorder. My liver doesn't seem to be producing enough bile and now they are suggesting that I get my gallbladder out because of stones. I wouldn't be surprised if they lump it all in one and say I have Lupus.

    I have lupus, fibromyalgia, and mast cell syndrome. Not for the faint of heart and it was hard for people to understand the extent of these because I was so active and pushed thru so much. Now that I'm older, I'm not capable to do so. They say you're making it more then it is or you're a hypochondriac.... I don't want sympathy just understanding.
