I'm so sorry you are having so much to deal with right now. Lupus can really suck at times.
I have a few thoughts about your stomach troubles because I have the same thing. I use to tell my docs it wasn't IBS ... It was ABS ( Angry Bowel Syndrome) mine wasn't "irritated" mine was down right pissed off!
Then I tried going gluten free - even though I do not have celiac disease- and have been amazed at the difference!! Not just with the bowel problem but also with the joint pain. I really suggest you give it a try - you'll know if its working or not in just a few days and it won't hurt anything to try... Costs nothing to do... Dr.V has some discussions on here ( upper right corner of this page) about gluten sensitivity.
Please look into it and keep us posted on how you're doing.

Yes, I've cleared my cookies (and drank some milk while I was at it) I use safari on my iPad to browse It is 6.0.1 version
What's also weird is on the main discussion page, it will not let me post a new discussion from there. I have to go into a discussion where it won't let me reply but will let me post a new discussion.
Help!

Any idea of what I can try? It also won't let me click if a post was helpful (I.e. Dr. V's recent posts)
For the technicians - when I hit the reply button it either takes me to the top of the page I'm on or does nothing.
Anyone else having trouble???

Lupylisa - I use to take vit. D but quit because I had one of those, "I'm sick of taking so many d*#@ pills!" spells. I never saw any difference in pain or joint level though with or without the vitamin.
My feet, knees and hips are the worst to gel up in just minutes of none movement. Heat would be nice but not very practical as it's all day problem.
Lupus sucks.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try fiddling with the darn thing and see if I can get it working.

Does anyone know of anything I can do for joint stiffness? I don't just have it in the morning - although it is horrible then too - but I have it all day, every day - any time my joints rest for as little as five minutes, I have to "break" them free again. And it's all my joints with my hands and feet being the worst. If I drive or sit for five minutes I can barely walk when I try to get up....
Any ideas on what I can do?

((LupyLisa ))). I try to reply to your post but when I hit the reply button , nothing happens. It will only let me post a new discussion . It may be doing that to others as well. If it continues, I will post a new discussion so that it can be fixed. Hope you are feeling well!!!!
