Q: Knots

Hi, it's me again. I have another question. I have a lot of knots under my skin. Mostly I feel them on my thighs. I'm not sure when I first noticed one on top of my head. This worries me because my mother has them on her head also. I know someone else who has them all over her head. She told her doctor about them and all he said was she needed to lose weight and they will go away! I told her to find another doctor fast! But she hasn't done anything about them. Also I have been getting a lot of moles all over my body. I ask a doctor about them in the early '90s she was concerned enough to advise me to have them checked out. I've told a doctor about them but I get no responce. Anyone ele have this?

Moles
Hi sharon!

I have a lot of moles/warts too. I always attributed mine to my medicines (immunosuppresants). *shrug* but, I guess it depends on what medicines you are taking. Smile

have you asked the doctor about it? I would, especially if it is something new...You know how everything can be lupus...Or a side effect.

Just my $.02 worth,

Hi, your right , the common answer to our questions from doctors is ( it's part of lupus). I'm curently taking 3oomg. Dilantin- singulair- prevacid- a muscle relaxer- zoloft- blood pressure med.- inhalers- motrin. I've been scared to take the other med. She gave me until I see my rheu. I've taken nortripaline before. I hated how it made me feel! I'm not useing my inhalers like i'm suppose to, because they give me headaches. If I complain too much I feel like a child. Rolling Eyes

Sharon,
you really hit the nail on the head...For several things.

1) at this point in lupus, I always wonder if it is really lupus or the medicines. I think I take about 20 pills per day. And that, is a huge improvement. A year ago, I was on 40 and self injections of two types of medicines! Rolling Eyes

2) you do, after a while, feel like you complain about everything. However, I will share a secret; you need to share regardless. I did not share a few "simple" things with my doctor. Only after she saw them, they weren't so simple or little! Trust me, I learned my lesson! Laughing

peace,
ladybrannon
