Accepted Answer

Good question.......: You will need to see a dentist who can actually examine you in order to give you some accurate answers to your questions.  The internet is great for many things and some basic information, but can't replace a personal examination and evaluation.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

It could be: See your doctor as soon as possible for help.  Good luck!

Question 3

would you please cite some references of books etc on the subject of coping with chronic illness?  i have lupus and it is hard to deal with.

Accepted Answer

Support group: I am sure there is a foundation somewhere near your related to lupus. You should consider joining a support group which will likely provide you more personal insights and reading recommendation. Chronic illness is often a major issue and you will need all the help you can get.

Question 4

if you have lupus is it hard to loose weight?

Accepted Answer

No: Not unless you are on prednisone.

Question 5

living with lupus can be hard. how can i cope?

Accepted Answer

Support group: The lupus foundation with local groups can be very helpful. If necessary a psychologist or even a good friend or spouse can be a sounding board just as with any potentially chronic disease.

Question 6

what to do if i have lupus and i was wondering if nursing would be hard?

Accepted Answer

Talk to your dr: If you are planning on nursing, talk to doctor beforehand to make sure that you are not any medications that may affect your baby.

Question 7

i have lupus and pots. when one is doing going, i struggle with the other. it's hard to keep up with friends. how to explain? i can't make every event

Accepted Answer

I would be candid.: I would explain how much these people mean to you but advise them that your health some times limits what you can do with them and the time that you spend together.

Question 8

i thought i had lupus, is it hard to find? i had a butterfly polkadotted rash on my inner thighs is it possible to have the rash there?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: "butterfly rash" refers to a rash shaped like a butterfly on the central face. A spotty rash on the inner thighs is most commonly a ringworm or yeast infection, but there are many other (less common) causes. Very unlikely to be lupus. Check with your doctor or a dermatologist and find out what it really is.

Question 9

have several autonomic disorders as results of lupus.often hard to manage.work full-time which takes all my energy.try to explain to others,they don't understand, tell others,things get construed. how to not let what others think bother me? isolating

Accepted Answer

Counseling: It sounds like a good counseling relationship might be quite helpful. Having a chronic disease is hard, you deserve support . Get a referral from your PCP or payment source. See if your PCP , specialist or local hospital might know of a support group for individual with chronic disease or more generic stress

Question 10

what do you suggest if i had come up positive. i share some of the symptoms of lupus. how hard will my life be if i have lupus?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: What came up positive? What symptoms do you have? Have you seen a rheumatologist? It is impossible to answer a question such as this when no specifics are given.
