Discoid Lupus Flare And Pregnant Posted: 07-26-07 22:46pm
Hi
I am new to this forum. It seems there
are many nice people posting here so I
hope someone can help me. I have had
discoid lupus for 4 years. I haven't had
a flare in almost a year. Then I got
pregnant-on birthcontrol go figure. I am
exactly 3 months along. Yesterday I
started with the discoid rash. I know I
cannot use lidex cream during pregnancy.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be
used. I have an appointment with my rheum
tomorrow, but I want to get others
feedback. I also had positive
anitcardiolipin antibodies, but medium to
low level so I am not on any anticoagulant
as of yet. However, I had another level
in my thrombophelia panel come back
positive too and now that have me on folic
acid 4mg, B12 1mg, and B6 50mg everyday in
addition to my prenatal vitamin. I also
developed a subchorionic bleed in my 6th
week ugh. I am an ER nurse and am now on
light duty, sitting at a desk bored and
depressed. I need advice, and would love
to communicate with anyone who has been
pregnant with lupus.
Thanks
