Recently, a new MRI shows "severe" degenerative disks and arthritis thoughout hips..... I am warm and swollen in hips and lower spine and lots of pain. Having surgery.
Is it possible for Lupus to affect me in this way?View Thread


No worries, better days ahead.View Thread

If approved, BENLYSTA® will be the first drug to be specifically developed for lupus and the first new treatment for lupus in more than 50 years.View Thread

I personally think it's a good idea to stay On Topic -Lupus.
Many of us felt relief once we got diagnosed, finally an answer.
Did you feel that way?View Thread

Anyway, I remember being surprised at my doc that ordered the MRI because I would not have guessed it was my back. Once the MRI found the problem I was referred to a spine surgeon. The physical therapy does help, but my doc said I will have chronic back pain all my life, and to get an injection when it gets unbearable.
I hope you feel better soon.View Thread


Thanks to everyone who was there for me when I was suffering with new and complicated issues. There is no treatment for the polyneuropathies, but the hypothyroid will soon be getting better as we gradually build up medicine for that.
No more dizziness, no more fainting spells, no significant swelling and very few rashes. Just a little tired, but I expected that.View Thread
