Q: Sub discoid lupus
asked by: chader04 on October 24th, 2009

I have asked alot of questions on this site in the last few weeks. I have sub. discoid lupus..a lupus specialist thinks it SLE without a positive ana because I have at least 4 of the symptoms of sle for years...and other blood work supports it...I recently found out in testing that i tested positive for latent tb (exposed, in body but no active infection)too. The meds i have to take for it couses sle drug induced alot..starting in nov. how will that effect me. I am being switched to anti maleria meds for my discoid rashes as steriods dont work well. My discoid rash has been very active for over a year...I woke up and it was healing within a week gone... except for one lesion on my head...but now i am so sick...fatigue...losing weight...arthritis bad and achy all over...what is up with that. I am getting really depressed and truthfully I dont know why cause nothing has happened to me but good...the rash is gone and it was so severe...im so confused..Ive also had headaches and i normally never get them. Im starting to feel like im going crazy.

Hi Chader04
Check to see where the nearest Lupus Support Group is nearest you. Right now it appears you feel along and you aren't. There are others who are feeling like you and just don't know what to do. You may have a neighbor, or a family member who has it and just didn't know how to reach out...Friendship is a powerful thing use it.

In the meantime, your tirdness may be from having a low blood count, poor not enough iron...have a complete blood work up done.


God Bless dear, keep us posted
