I suffer from SLE and DLE, and an array of other overlaps, but haven't been doing too badly over the past few months.
Yesterday was a work day for me, and about 4pm it hit me like a train, wham severe skin pain. My back, neck, jaw line, upper arms, top of my chest feel like I should be black and blue. My clothing hurts, and even the lightest touch hurts horribly. Ohhhh I just can't believe how painful it is.
I can't recall the reason for this type of pain, or what to do about it. I tried some Ibuprophin last night, with no help. I took a long hot soak, and that was nice, but didn't help. I have to go to work today, and the thought of it is making me cry. I've had this before, long ago and can't recall if it was leading up to a nasty flare or not. Arg.
Anyone else suffer with this?
