Sure, but...: There's lots of things you can take, but what are you treating here? When you have a systemic disease like sle, your increased risk factors (over the general population without your disease) for significant infection and pathology warrant evaluation and directed treatment--not symptom-based herbal products. Please give your doctor a call.

Need more than OTC: How long has it been since your last Medical and Dental check-ups? You may have one problem or two concurrent but unrelated problems. Please seek professional care rather than trying to self-medicate.
