She also noticed swelling on my hands and feet.
She also gave me a lab slip for more blood work.
I asked her if my lupus is mild or severe and she was quick to say mild from my previous numbers.
I also told her my eyes severely dry, and my mouth, it feels cut up on my pallet and I sometimes have difficulty swelling food or liquid and it is very painful at times. She said she was going to put a request for me to see a gastrointeralogist, waiting on that referral.
I'm surprised your doc has not put you plaquenil, thats what I'm on.
God Bless you you and keep posted

Since I'm new with lupus, I don't know what to say, being I'm still learning about this. I'm sorry, but I like to read what everyone has to say.
I lost my enthusiasm for shopping, it's even hard for me to do groceries. I come home from work and want to rest the same goes for my weekends.
You and Lisa do a great job here..... thank you ladies

Anyway, I had read your reply to "urgent question" and wanted to say "thank you", thank you for your knowledge and wisdom you give here, I myself have had the pleasure of your help and you're pretty quick to respond, and that means alot.
As I'm typing this, the joints on my hands hurt really bad and I feel light headed and dizzy.
I know you have your bad days too, but like mother who is there for her children, you are always here for us, especially us new with lupus.
Thank you and many many blessing you.
