This video is informational and I have been wondering about NAC as a Lupus SLE patient. These triggers have sent me to a bedridden state, with severe fatigue, and severe joint pain. I paid out of pocket last year ($200-$270) for an IV of glutathione, vitamin D and C. I noticed a dramatic difference. It was just too expensive to maintain. I hope NAC can help manage these crazy symptoms in conjunction with Hydroxychloroquine.
Thanks to Dr.Auchi on UA-cam channel for helping me with his herb 🌿 to cure my Sle Lupus disease 🦠 ,now I am completely cured from Sle Lupus disease. Doctor you are the best I have ever met, he is really great herbalist doctor, he has cure for another disease and infection with virus in the body, His herbal medication is 100% guaranteed without side effects in the body, visit his UA-cam channel #drauchi 💜💜
I injoyed your video of information. I wanna see more of your videos!😅
For exercise, start slow with fifteen minutes doing Walk at Home by Leslie Sansome. She has free content on UA-cam and an app. Also, Miranda Esmonde White has Essentrics tai chi based stretching that is excellent for lupus fatigue. I sleep like a baby after doing thirty minutes of stretching before bed. Save our Bones has an excellent program for at home strength training to build muscle. Switching to a Mediterranean diet will greatly impact the benefits you will get from all of these at home therapies, as well as benefits to brain and body. I have had lupus for many years and each one of these at home programs has helped me a lot. ❤
Wow, this video is hot off the press! Recently diagnosed with SLE in addition to the RA which I've had for 20+ years. I have been hospitalized for over a month with pleural effusion from the SLE, and am being treated with high dose prednisone, which is working but I want to get off it as quickly as possible.
This video helped me envision what I can expect in the future and what things -- not only taking meds -- are important. I couldn't have imagined NAC would help lupus, but the explanation and data provided were persuasive. I am a lot more hopeful now than I was before I saw this video, and I know I have to take an active role in beating this disease. Thank you so much for this video.
Chair Yoga or Chair QiGong for those too tired to exercise
5 or 10 minute yoga every day was very beneficial. I couldn't move much before, way too much pain.... so much better now.
I was a lupus patient with you in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and then left and have traveled around. Now I live in NC. I have a great internist but have not been able to find a suitable rheumatologist in years and things are kind of a mess.
Sorry to hear that Bekki. Consider Dr. Saira Sheikh in Chapel Hill. Amazing rheumatologist! Compassionate, Empathetic, up on the latest treatments. Just tell her I sent you
We're so sorry to hear that, Bekki! Please also feel free to reach out to Lupus LA's Virtual Care Coordinator at info@lupusla.org for resources and additional referral information, if you need the extra support.

Who is a good rheumatologist in Houston , Tx ?
Hey Becky, hope all is well. I live here in North Carolina. I think I’m dealing with drug induce lupus. I was wondering if you ever saw that doctor in Chapel Hill I live in Raleigh.
I also have anemia, and take a vitamin for that and also vitamin D3.
One of the best videos I have watch ever explaining causes and connections in SLE ! And I watch and read a lot since I want to put my Lupus in remition.
Thank you ! Gracias !!! ❤
I have all the side effects of hydroxychloroquine, so I cannot take it. Exercise I can do and I have started doing chair yoga.
I also experienced horrible side effects. I felt like I was dying . Also got the butterfly lesion. 🦋
That’s amazing!
Very good
Thoughts on nad+ iv and methylene blue?
Wow great
Thank u
When I exercise; it makes my face turn tomato red, it also exhausts me, and I end up being down for two days after I am down. Should I suggest Antifrolumob? I do take high dose EPA 1200mg - In form of Omega 3 form fish oil it also has higher dose of DHA 900 mg. 4080 mg fish oil. I do try to walk three times a day. Not much over 2 miles a day. But it’s what I can tolerate.
Are you keeping yourself protected from the sun? Are you heat sensitive? I have terrible heat intolerance and start to feel ill when I get warm .
@@RippedPantyhose It doesn’t seem to bother me like the cold does
Does Methylin blue help?
What about drug induced lupus?
I’ve tested negative for all the ANA except anti-histone drug induced lupus any thoughts or recommendations great video very informative. Going to start trying NAC. I’ve had some improvements with methylene blue Bpc 157 oral along with NAD plus IV infusions and also infrared sauna.
Exactly❣️
This would be a solid video if not for the obvious, grotesque pleasure this guy gets out of humbling a patient he has quite a bit of power over - repeatedly stressing in the video how humbling her turned her from a frowny black woman to a happy smiley black woman and gloating over how she was forced to beg to come back to his practice.
Rheumatologists are thin on the ground. Really goes to show how doctors can get away with absolutely repulsive attitudes toward patients.
Disturbing projection issues
You're comprehension is way off.
Which sunscreen does Dr Thomas use on himself?
