Not Feeling Well w/ Lupus .. What Is Wrong?...Getting Worse?
Posted: 10-22-07 23:37pm

I already know that I have Lupus and a few other things that go w/ it. Yeah! What fun.. Razz Anyway I have already been very Blessed w/ four wonderful children. So, two years ago I have the CLAMP placed on. As when I am w/ child I am high risk and very ill.

Anyway I found out that I had Lupus at 18. I am now 30 and it get worse each year. The Sun doesn't hurt me.. It's everything else.

Any way I have been very tired (which is normal for someone w/ Lupus and four children..Right..) I have to push myself to get up and moving. I have been having the butterfly FLARES a lot lately. I have been gaining weight. Where now I have a little belly starting. It has nothing to do w/ the why I eat as that hasn't changed. If anything I eat a little less. I fell sick at times. I have lower back pain. On top of all the normal fun LUPUS pain. I don't like to take a lot of meds as I have to be there for my children. And well everything puts me to sleep. And I have a hard enough time to stay away. I also have been having headache and dizzy spells. Which I get dizzy spells anyway they are give a little worse now.

Anyway what do you think.. Just things getting worse? Or could it be more?

Thanks.. Any may you all be Very Blessed~

Have you had your thyroid tested lately? Hashimoto's Syndrome is also an autoimmune disorder, and since you have lupus, it is more likely for you to develope hypothyroidism, which explains the weight gain and fatigue. It can also effect digestion. Just a thought. Good luck!
