Lupos: my mother was diagnosed with it and I believe I may have it as well... Professional Medical opinion plz

You can't blame the doctor for dismissing SLE based on labs that clearly don't support this diagnosis. They can't justify this diagnosis, not to themselves and certainly not to your insurance company. Besides, there are several other conditions that share your symptoms. If you're willing, attempt to get a differential diagnosis. If you don't have SLE, you may have something treatable.

a rash and chronic diarrhoea can be indicative of colitis, so the healing phase diet in the book "Self Healing Colitis and Crohn's" is very useful. When there is diarrhoea the body is trying to rid itself of toxins, so it's best to go on the detox and healing diet: melon, peeled cucumbers, banana, banana smoothies made with soy, peeled apples, pears, grapes, mango, mashed potato, eggs, no fat or oils, no fiber, no milk.

The link self healing empowerment below mentions lupus and a host of other conditions. This guy helped me out so much my life has just turned around. The fact you have ulcers in your mouth suggests malabsorption of nutrients because the food is travelling too fast through your digestive system, so you need some medicine to stop the food travelling through so fast. I was prescribed Stillen but I'm working in Asia, and I don't know if thats something you can get in your country. Try some multivitamins. I did a web search on the same thing-ulcers in my mouth and it said to take zinc and folic acid, which I did, and I haven't had another ulcer since.

Sorry I'm not a medical professional, just a 4 year degree and some experience, I hope this can help you too. Oh and I had most of your symptoms and now am symptom free.

If you have a history of drug-seeking (or even a history of getting pain meds) then no wonder they think it's all about the drugs. When it comes to addictive substances, it pays to be cautious about who is getting them.

Have you thought about alternative medicine? Perhaps accupuncture? If this suggestion pisses you off and you think to yourself, I just want the pain to stop and you are thinking about pills.... then you are a drug seeker and won't admit it to yourself. I believe that you are genuinely in pain. I am not discounting your word. All I am saying is that is the doctors are being *******, then it's time to seek alternatives. You will be amazed at what an herbalist or accupunturist can do for you. You should at least look into it.

Hello. My older sister was recently diagnosed with Lupus about 5 weeks ago. Just this past weekend she had a seizure and possibly a mild stroke. Were all here scared to death and really dont know what to do or think. I guess I dont have any answers for you just sympathy. My best to you and your mother and seek a specialist in that field.

If you are seeking a professional medical opinion you need to consult with a medical professional. Get a second opinion. I'm empathize with you for all the pain you are in. Hope you find a solution that helps you.
