[SPICY]

I was diagnose with Lupus (SLE) on the 09/04/08. Had my 1st flare on the 11/04/08 my head has been in a spin ever since.

I've not being feeling well from the end of Jan 08 beginning of Feb 08 - First my feet was hurting to the point that i could not walk, then my knees and slowly worked it way upwards, my shoulders, elbows, wrist, arms even my fingers hurt. My throat was so sore. I had never felt pain like this. It changed day to day.

I just wanted to say hello, I'm sure i will be asking alots of question i would appricate any help.

Hello Spicy and :welcome:

It sounds like you were diagnosesd pretty quicky which is good treatment wise but not that easy to get used to.

What medication have you been started on? You should see a lot of improvement with the right treatment and hopefully this will all be a distant memory soon.

feel free to ask questions, we'll all try and help as much as we can,
Katharine
