Lupus affects most parts of the body including the skin, joints, organs and the immune system. patients may feel tired and weak.
SKIN - two-thirds of patients get a rash. some might get the 'butterfly' rash on their nose and cheeks or mouth sores. you can also get hives or altered skin colouring. one third of patients get Raynaud’s phenomenon which is when the fingers go white then blueish when exposed to stress, cold or vibration.
JOINTS - nine out of ten patients experience joint pain and imflammation in their hands, wrists and feet. it is usually most painful in the morning and eases out during the day.
HAIR - sometimes hair loss will occur. it is usually temporary and can be cured with a variety of remmedies.
MUSCLES - muscle ache, or myalgia, occurs in two thirds of patients. the pain is experienced between the neck and elbow and the knee and hip.
HEART - a quarter of people with lupus get an imflammation of the heart sac called pericarditis. they ease the pain by bending forward.
BLOOD - Lupus affects the cells of blood, resulting in blood not clotting and not enough blood cells (anaemia)
IMMUNE SYSTEM - a disease called lymphadenopathy can sometimes occur. it is when the lymph nodes become swollen.
ReplyDeleteFor those people who are lupus sufferer and maybe reading this, I find it hard that people are still ignorant when it comes to LUPUS and have no idea what the illness is all about and still flippant about it even in the medical world.
After my daughter collapsed at home she was seen by one of the Consultants in the Lupus Unit who performed more tests and confirmed that she was negative with the Anti-RO antibodies. when I was told this, as I was slowly thinking I was losing my marbles and this was all in my head.
The Doctor prescribed a course of treatment but said that it would take about 8-9 months for the drugs to start working. I felt relieved to think that there was light at the end of the tunnel but still quite daunted by her having to cope feeling the way. After 2months of taken the medication the symptoms seemed to get worse, She had fevers, cold sweats, chest pains, constantly nauseous and she was finding it difficult to breathe. Her Doctor thought that the difficulty breathing may have been caused by one of the anti-inflammatory drugs and stopped them straight away.
But everything started to get easier from the point we came across Justin Herbal Medicine. When I first contacted Justin he told us that the drugs they'd used had aggravated the Lupus and caused it to flare more badly. The miraculous new treatment (Herbal Medicine) was for her to start the medicine sooner which was my thoughts, which of course was helpful.
His medicine is very effective, she experienced no symptoms for the past 1year. If you/your relative have same problem, do not expose yourself to more danger, use a herbal remedy that is safe and effective. Contact him directly for more info. with this address: lancejustin54@gmail.com
