Go see the doctor. I had swollen gland on the right side of my neck one day and throat felt scrathy.
By the next evening when I saw my doctor my eardrum was ready to burst was taken of work 2 weeks
and saw my rheumy well my lupus was flaring and my ear wasnt any better my doctor changed my
antibotic and added some breathing meds now i have been of 3 weeks and my 2 doctors decided
I will not be going back till Dec.2nd. Hopefully you will not have all these problems. I fill it is better
to have it checked and hopefully find nothing than to wait. Please let me no how you are.
Sending you lots of hugs and good wishes.
Luci

Hi Fiona,

I agree with Luci. It is better to be safe than sorry about getting things checked out.
I know how hard it is when to decide when to go see a doctor. We put up with so much from lupus and have learned to live with it.
Let us know how you are doing.
Love,
Lyn

Woke this morning and swelling had gone done in glands but still loaded with cold and have a chesty cough and a bit sore to swollow. couldnt get an appointment with my own dr till 29th november yeah i know sad i could have one of the other drs but she knows the ins and outs of my lupus. If it gets any worse i will have to ring for an emergency but feeling a wee bit better today hopefully it will go away lol. Thanks for your replys and luci hope you are feeling better soon x

Fiona,

Regardless of you having Lupus to wait until the 29th to get a chesty cough treated is not good could really aggrevate your Lupus i.e. cause it to flare .....you should see any GP to see if you need some anti-biotics .

Best wishes,
