    Lupus sucks! I've had 2 open heart surgeries, 3 strokes, congestive heart failure, respiratory failure, plursey, and so many other problems. People don't understand the pain that comes with lupus. Thanks for sharing 💜

    I'm glad that I found your channel! I've been diagnosed when I was 13 y/o and I am now 22. It's been a long roller coaster ride! Was getting better, then had to take trips to the hospital because of swollen abdomens to my thighs, taking off from work to go to a different island to see a rheumatologist and have your coworkers say 'nah you just wanna go off island to have fun'... and have to live with people assuming you're fine when really you're not fine internally.

    Thank you for the video and the positive inspiration. Im a male that was recently diagnosed with Lupus. For me the fatigue is insane. And having a physical job is harder. Trying to maintain an 8 hour workday is hard and by the time i get home Im exhausted. And like you say, the meds side effects are almost as bad. Im in my 50s and the doc was telling me that cause of my age, Lupus could escalate faster and the effects more painful. I have found learning about it to be the best medicine as well. I will keep fighting it cause I still have a lot of life to enjoy.

    I'm so excited to have found your channel! I'm 20 years old and just got diagnosed with SLE Lupus a little over a month ago. I had to take a leave of absence from college and have been home bedridden ever since. I've been looking for people around my age who also suffer and get what it's like to go through an invisible illness when most of our age group cannot conceptualize it at all. I try not to talk about it too much with my friends (a lot of whom did not reach out to me in time of dire need. Lol @ "true" friends). Ok I SWEAR I'm not trying to promote myself but I just made my first video on lupus a few days ago bc I feel like there's not enough info out there about it! Anyways, thank you for being real and talking about this online, I personally have received a ton of misinformation about lupus from people who follow weird diets who know nothing about it and I can't stand people who give unheeded advice on something so sensitive. Anyways, I'm gonna watch all your videos now!!! thank you SO much for spreading the word ❤️

      Yes, it is true that lupus can not permanently cure, but there are medical treatments, and can keep this disease under control, but now depends from country to country, because in some countries the health system is very corrupt, and is led by very corrupt people, who use the health system money for other purposes.
      I live in Romania, which has the most poor and corrupt health system in Europe, and that is because the government, parliament and presidency, of that do nothing for the people.

I just want to know already if I have it so I can start fighting it and get on a path to health. So thankful that as soon as I expressed my symptoms to my doctor she acted right away to go get tests done!

    I'm a female and I was diagnosed at 3 years old...yes I was 3 years old and already had lupus. I've literally lived my whole life growing up with lupus. I don't even know what it's like to have and feel a normal body standpoint. I was that kid who had to take breaks at recess or couldn't participate in sports cause my lupus was too bad and being diagnosed young my symptoms were horrible most my childhood and I would be stuck in the hospital because I kept getting flares. I was almost held back multiple times for not showing at school because of the hospital trips. Im now an early adult and I'm finally adapting. I've always had that fear of not making enough money to support myself with all the med's and obviously housing but thanks to my 1000 doctors (sarcasm lol) I have hope for my future.

Knowing that I'm not the only one who wakes up each morning with EVERYTHING hurting is a little encouraging, in an sad sort of way, but I'd never wish it on anyone.

    I've been diagnosed with lupus from I was 16, I am now 30. There where many ups and downs but I learned to live with the disease and generally my symptoms ( joint pains, muscle pains, chest pains, vomiting diarrhea, rashes) were stable.
    Until all hell broke loose summer of 2014. I began to break out in blisters. At first just one or two here an there. But gradually it became a full blown affliction. Arms, legs, stomach, chest breasts, butt, back, face, palms of hands, under my feet, on my head. To this day only one spot has been spared, my vajayjay.
    The blisters would leave open wounds that take long to heal. The larger ones last way longer. the wounds are hella painful. I learned that they make bathing painful because plain water burns them. And they stick to all my clothes. if I wear something for too long the wounds will kinda start to heal onto the cloth. So then I have to painfully peal my clothes off making a bloody mess. So I got the idea to sleep in no clothes to avoid this problem over night. Only to wake up in the morning stuck to my bed. Sigh. Oh and if I got the wounds bandaged I would smell like a rotting dead body. Literally.
    After being passed around from doctor to doctor, and enduring many blood tests; my current doctor believes that the cause of the blisters is not my lupus but the prednisone I've been taking every day since I was 16. Although I am not fully convinced I am hoping that this is the cause. They have been slowly weaning me off of the prednisone.
    Living with my normal symptoms I could accept. But these blisters have made me really depressed. This one thing on its own, is just too much for me. I'm used to having clear skin. Now, I have open wounds that come and go, and they always leave black spots and scars. Here in the carribean where I live, marks on the skin automatically mean that You have AIDS. So when ever I build up the nerve to go in public I am given many stares and dirty looks. So I now spend most of time locked away in my room.
    I pray that stopping the prednisone solves my problem so that I can go back to living comfortably.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks for sharing i am a 21 year old caucasian male and i am almost sure i have lupus it started this year but a few years back i had hip joint pain which acts up every once in a while. I was told it was because my immune system was attacking itself. i also have constant fatigue (i eat healthy and excercise) and sensitivity to sunlight. I havent been officially siagnosed but im sure i have it because i have the rash on my face in around the eyes cheeks and forehead and along my back and abdomen and limbs. One day it got so bad my face looked horrid bumpy and red and i had to go to qork that day but i called in and went to the hospital to get a type of steroid cream and it definitly hides it but it comes back in a week if i stop using it. What medications do you take for lupus? Is it worth it for me to go and get medication? I live pretty normally while using the cream to make my rashes go away but i atill itch all the time. Thx for sharing your story you gave me some facts i didnt know

    I'm a latina diagnosed in 2014 at 22 yrs old while in the military I went into renal failure and none of the doctors knew why.My renal failure landed me in the hospital where I got a kidney biopsy done got told the news by an a-hole nephrologist who didn't really explain what lupus nephritis was he wanted to schedule a hysterectomy and told me I couldn't have anymore kids(I didn't have any kids he confused my younger brothers for my kids).I didn't even know what lupus was and didn't know I could be in this much pain...soo much pain during the years my kidney function went up and down flaring for 6-8 months at a time(I had to be hospitalized each time)I eventually landed on dialysis with no possibility of transplant until my flare went away.I went through a combo of meds and somehow my kidneys came back to life the lupus relaxed and I got off dialysis now in 2018 my lupus is in remission and I even got off prednisone too

    I just got diagnosed with Lupus. I’m getting sent to a specialist to look more into it. I know that my joints are weak for 2-3 years now, and been having constant lower back pain, and spine pain. I’m constantly sleepy, and tired. I haven’t drank water as much as I used to for 3 1/2 years. Sometimes my organs are pierced with some odd & indescribable pain which I was unaware. I have really short breath now. I had no idea I had Lupus until I went in to get check after experiencing terrible memory loss and developing a mild speech impairment. Once I was diagnosed with Lupus, all its symptoms became clear to me. However, I still am living life just the way I intend it to be.... Yes, it’s hard knowing I have it because there’s a disease in me attacking my organs to keep me alive. But I will live life, and let God show me my way.

    I am pretty sure I have this. 39 year old male, and I think I have been dealing with it for the past 5 or 6 years, but went undiagnosed due to the "just grin and bear it" mentality. I knew something was slowly bringing me down. Fast forward to 2022, and I got hit with a really bad case of Lyme. The arthritis pain is unbearable at times, and it is whole body. Had to go to the hospital a week ago. Kidneys and heart are starting to become effected. That signature butterfly rash is present on my face. Blood and urine tests are abnormal, but not showing "acute organ failure". Rushing to find a PCP as I went without for 23 years.

I've been frequently absent this past two months because the disease is making me weak so I undegone a lot of test from series of doctors then run down to same opinion, I have systemic lupus and so I went back to work telling my supervisor about what I had been going through... I was also shocked when I first knew about it but since in our country this disease is not commonly heard or not even familiar to them, I got to explain what I've been feeling to my body and so they care for me more and understand my situation. I am now undergoing medication and I already accepted that this will be part of my lifetime.. God gave this to me because it has a reason and a purpose.

I'm very fatigued and have depression, my hair dried right out in my early 30s no one else in my family has that though (I'm the youngest) I already have celiac disease (as do my siblings) but I'm being good with my diet. I also have chest and stomach pains but I don't have the butterfly rash or other symptoms. Ive had a few small sore lumps on my hand but I'm wondering if they're just insect bites!.

  • @daisygallardo4645
    @daisygallardo4645 Před 7 lety

    So today I received my old primary care provider's complete medical records and found a very puzzling and potentially life changing piece of information. Because I was so disappointed with their care and lack of diagnosis, I never bothered to provide my records to my current rheumatologist. Three months before my body suddenly crashed and I stopped walking, I felt many symptoms that were leading up to it. This was July&Aug 2015. Anyway, I read my old rheumatologist notes stating that although I tested positive for dsDNA (specific lupus antibody), it's likely I don't have lupus because my ANA was negative at that time. When I finally switched insurances to see my current rheumatologist in feb 2016, I tested positive speckled ANA and negative dsDNA. It has flipped, but given my lack of improvement with 4 treatments and extreme fatigue, I feel this may be a clue to either an additional diagnosis or just the right diagnosis. I'm confused and desperate for answers. I have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, but have failed all treatments. just like all of you, I just want to get the right treatment! I can't even walk my kids from the school office to my car :(.

    What type of medication do they use for Lupus. I tested positive for Auto Immune disease a year ago. My ANA levels were tested and came back positive. That in itself took about 3 weeks to come back. I finally got an appointment with a rheumatologist. I am pretty nervous and scared, I think that's why I pushed it off for so long, plus I have another medical conditions I was focusing on and getting the proper medication cocktail in place. I am terrified of what the doctor may say, I keep telling myself no not again, no more medications, my mediset is already full enough. So I am not exactly sure what the outcome maybe,but it's time I focus on my positive ANA.

I don't have kidney involvement (have had lupus for 9 years) but this depends on the person. Just listen to your dr, take care of yourself and I also have a video about things to avoid.

      Vannessa Tapueluelu hello. You are your doctors first lupus patient? Do you have discoid lupus (of the skin) or SLE? My doctor has never told me to not wear makeup but they could be saying this based on your type of lupus.

      Sometimes there are ingredients in Skin care creams that aggravate lupus rashes... You can find the best skin creams and make up for us 'Luppy's.' on the net. Also get a mineral filter for showers.. some of my worst rashes were triggered by chlorine and other stuff in the water. I make my own soap and skin creams now... also found out 2 years ago ..that not only Sunlight affects us... Energy saving light bulbs also sent me into Urgent Care.... which was a blessing really because after decades of illness.. got an ANA test.. which was positive. I'm 65 years old ... before I was told I had 'hives' .

    Shingles develops when you've once had chickenpox because those stay in your body for as long as you live and the shingles break out when your immune system is compromised, so shingles are a thing that can only happen when you've had the chickenpox.

    Just been diagnosed with lupus... 😳
    I've been having hives for 3 weeks now, it's been driving me crazy because my family and I had no clue of the cause. After not knowing, we thought it was just tree pollen because with the weather the levels of pollen are high. I just found out a couple minutes ago that lupus was found positive from my blood. I have no clue what lupus is, I've never had to think about before until now. I don't know anything about it, I'm trying not to overthink it. I'm telling myself I'll just wait to think about it until I see a doctor because reading articles on the Internet is only making me more scared.
    Any advice? Any wisdom to share of those who have lupus or know what it is??

    Well said. I got very sick in 2015. My symptoms were all over the place. A sore that blocked the entire hole on one side of my nostril, 2 ulcers that left deep scars in my mouth, crippling joint pain, unexplained intestinal problems and pain. List goes on. I have been to different doctors and several ER trips. Because I don't look sick they just act like it's nothing. One tested me for RA. And stopped with that. All the while I am getting worse and because no diagnosis my family thinks I am fine. Now I have these weird headaches and went to the ER cuz I was having stabbing pains in my chest and thought I was having a heart attack. Hurt to breath. The doctor told me to go to the rheumatologist and get tested for lupus. NO APPOINTMENTS UNTIL AUGUST. I am miserable. I laid out in the sun yesterday and feel like a truck hit me today. Is this lupus symptoms or something else? Help anyone

      What state are you located? You need to go under hypnosis with one of Dolores Cannon's QHHT Practitioners. Go to www.dolorescannon.com/find-practitioner and select the state and city your in and click on the name of a practitioner to get contact information. Dolores Cannon's students communicate with the higher self through hypnotizing their client and the higher self heals the client's body. They will tell you the cause of your health problems and heal and cure you. You can also buy the book "Soul Speak" by Julia Cannon which has information about different medical conditions and health problems the human body is trying to communicate to you. Julia is the daughter of Dolores Cannon. Dolores passed away in 2014.

      @Swytek Před 7 lety

      According to the book "Soul Speak" by Julia Cannon, it says on page 143
      Lupus: Attacking yourself; feeling a need to be punished. I think this
      means that many people with lupus are punishing themselves and blaming
      themselves for something. Are you attacking yourself or punishing
      yourself over something? You need to stop doing this and love yourself.
      That is the cure for lupus.

    • @jonathanrice1070
      @jonathanrice1070 Před 7 lety +1

      Swytek That has to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard concerning my illness. I have Lupus because I don't love myself? That is completely and utterly absurd. Frankly, I'm offended by your comment. It lacks empathy and has little basis scientifically. Also, your comment assumes a lot about the emotional makeup of not just myself, but every person with any illness.

      Margaret Collins my symptoms at the time were very noticeable and I had lupus for awhile before getting it checked. They did blood work for me and my ANA was very high along with my SED rate. Both of these test help diagnose but aren't always positive in people with lupus.

      @tundrawomansays5067 Před 6 lety +1

      lovely mimi Mimi, you just got a name for an illness you have been living with for who knows how long. The only thing that has really changed prior to your diagnosis is now you have a name for it, something you didn’t have before. So just as this is a piece of information there are other “pieces” of knowledge you’ll learn as you go along. It is scary, of course because of all the things that “could happen” but that doesn’t mean they will happen to you, OK? This Illness is highly individual-and there is no one else who is exactly like you.
      No matter what, you are lovely mimi: Lupus is a part of who you are, but it is not all of who you are by any means. It’s OK to be scared, angry, confused or what ever you feel but please remember, you have been living with Lupus before you knew it had a name-and it’s name isn’t lovely mimi. You are NOT your diagnosis. None of us are.

      your right .. i was just shocked the moment i knew because it took me 5 years of hospitals and tests until i knew its lupus i am taking medication for it now and it is helping me alot i just need to check monthly and see that everything is ok i keep telling myself that it is just part of life now
      i am very grateful that i never gave up so many doctors told me that i have a mental illness because they just couldn't find out what causing me to be ill they even gave me medication for depression and i wasn't even depressed
      i know now that i can control it i try to be easy on myself and enjoy my life not thinking too much about it and i am more happy now than ever at least i know im not crazy or lazy like what some people always tell me and i feel so much better with the treatment i am seeing huge difference.

Planned pregnancy is the best option when considering having children when you have this illness. I had some very serious complications during my pregnancies due to Lupus, although I will say that I was undiagnosed at the time.
