Laser Treatment.
I have lupus dyscoid and finished a course of laser treatment recently. I do not know how effective it is on the rash/spots but the results on broken viens/rosacea has been 95% successful. I am realy pleased with the end result. I stopped taking plaquinil 2 years ago due to the long term side effects outweighing the pros of taking it. I did not get much benefit from the drug anyway. Does anybody suffer with eye inflamation.

Lupus
I am 39 yrs. and has had the disease since 1991. I took the high dose of steriods and it did a toll on me. I had bi-lateral hip replacements and kidney damage, but I am still here and fighting the good fight.

I am also looking to do Laser Surgery for my facial scars and am in the process of finding out as much information as I can on this topic.

Not scared, just making sure that I get as much correct information as I can before hand.

Got any information to share........
