Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Hi, my name is Mixitup13. I've been diagnosed with RA, and am in the process of adding a SLE diagnosis. I am also a primary care provider, specializing in family practice, with a passion for rheumatology and chronic pain management. I am looking for a community that can help me be me.

Hi, my name is WhatisHome44. I'm here because I feel like my life is over due to my chronic illness, my childhood/current trauma, and my deteriorating body. Because of this, everything I’ve spent my life working toward has fallen apart. And I have no way to make it any better. I’m 34. I’m losing weight astronomically fast. I have an illness that is exacerbated by stress, and there are people in my life who go out of their way to cause me stress. I don’t have a family physician. I’ve been bounced around from nurse practitioner to nurse practitioner, and am in a horrible situation at a private clinic. I’m losing all of my savings and these private clinics are cleaning me out. I didn’t have much to begin with. I cannot afford food. My wife works every single day and I work 5 days out of the week from home. I’m a musician/composer/audio engineer, but I’ve been struggling to hold my instruments. I’m losing mobility in my arms and legs. My brain is not functioning correctly, and I haven’t slept longer than 4-5 hours in over a year. I’m so tired. It’s so hard to work and even harder to function. I have no pain control. And I’m eligible for M.A.I.D in my country. I am trying to hold on. But am ready to exit. This was quite long but barely scratched the surface. I apologize for the heavy subject matter.

Hi, my name is alex. I've been diagnosed with SLE, and was originally on hydroxychloroquine to treat it. i’m now going to be taking methotrexate and i’m pretty scared because I know it’s low dose chemo if i’m not mistaken. the possible side effects make me nervous and I hate that i’m starting to look and feel sick now.

Hello friends. I've had to go on medical leave due to an extreme flare. I was diagnosed about 11-12 years ago and after I got on benlysta I felt fantastic! Now, it has stopped working and its all I can do to get out of bed all day. Does anyone have similar experience with Benlysta?#Benlysta #flare #SLE #Lupus
