Huge Connection Between Lupus And the Sun Posted: 03-16-06 14:29pm
Ask your rheumy because i'm not a doc.
But all the literature and rheumys will
tell you that the sun is one of the most
harmful things for a lupus patient. You
should never go out in the sun without
hats, long sleeves, and especially
protective lotion. When I went on my
honeymoon eight years ago I decided, what
the heck, it's my honeymoon so i'm going
to through caution to the wind and do
whatever I want. I tanned too much, ate
too much, drank too much, and had a
terrific time. Two weeks after I got
home I went into a bad flare. Anytime I
get too much sun I flare. Sounds like
you listen to your instincts if you've
figure this out on your own. Have you
looked at the lupus foundation of america
website or any other sites on lupus?
They have a wealth of information that you
might enjoy reading. We lupus patients
have to trust our instincts, become
informed, and find a good rheumy in whom
we have confidence. Good luck
