I'm new here ... jus happen to find it
while googling.
I'm 20 and have been diagnoised with Lupus
for about 3 years now.
I have a mild form in my joints. Mostly
just my fingers and sometimes my knees.
In Nov. of last year I was diagnoised with
Fibromyalgia (sp?) and then in December I
got the flu and therefore stop taking my
medicine because I wasn't keeping them
down, and it caused a flair up. I was in
and out of the hospital the whole month of
December, and finally started getting
better after Christmas.
Anyway, since then things have been okay.
Recently, I got a crick in my neck which
moved itself down to my shoulder. Someone
told me it was a pinched nerve, so I had
been putting icy hot on it and it's going
away. But for the past 3 days or so my
spleen has been really bothering me.
Is this a part of the Lupus? a friend told
me the pain feels worse because I have
Lupus. Has anyone experiences this before?
Should I be alarmed? I have a Dr. appt.
next month so it won't be too long.
any suggestions? or tips of getting rid of
the pain?
