Pregnant And Diagnosed With Skin Type Lupus Posted: 01-31-05 10:28am
Right before I found out I was pregnant, I
found out I have a very minor case of the
skin type lupus. My doctor said I didn't
have to worry about the lupus because its
so minor but I need to come back in three
months for more blood work. This was in
sept. About a week later I found out I
was pregnant and my insurance dropped me
because of it. I haven;t been to a
dermotologist since and I was wondering if
its something I really need to worry
about. Mt gyno knows a have it and is
watching me closely so is it nesessary for
me to go to the dermotologist?

Do you have severe skin (butterfly,
redness) on your face? I think you should
do bunch of blood test that your
rheumatologist recomended. Ana test to be
one of them, white blood cell, red blood
cell, urine test, etc....I hope your obgyn
know a lot about lupus or else you might
have complication during your
pregnancy/delivery. Update your progress
status for us. You are lucky to have
minor lupus;whereas other people are even
worser than you are.

I think you really need to take action on
this. Lupus is a very severe auto immune
problem. I know several people with
lupus and they do have some very
successful treatments. If you really
care about your health you should do
something about it.
