      @Brian Armstrong I would definitely talk with your primary physician about seeing a Rheumatologist if you are noticing several issues like the ones you mentioned. Lupus is one of many issues that could be the cause of joint pain and pleurisy.

      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’m a 59 year old male and was diagnosed with SLE/lupus in October 2024. Never had the butterfly rash. Most men don’t. Had a PCP who ignored my symptoms for 6 years. So being ignored happens to men too. Also just had a disability hearing where the judge denied my application. Even though my doctor says I have SLE the judge decided I have UCTD. My attorney is appealing.

    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.

Something is wrong, I know, but it's not easy with one doctor and a daughter who is neurodivergent..all is believed to be results of stress and anxiety. It's that too, but I know there's something more to what she's going through.
