sorry to hear about your conditions. i hope and pray it is not severe. lots of hugs and prayers along the way to you

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

im so sorry to hear this heather!!! i remember you were waiting for the results. i hoped it was nothing. my friend from HS had lupus and she's done pretty well. I haven't talked to her in a little while so I'm not sure how she's doing nowadays. I remember her taking medication (maybe that was for lupus)..sorry I don't know any more about it. you'll get through this. the initial shock is probably the worst. just try to focus your nerves and energy into treating it by being as proactive as possible with doctors and so on. we'll all be for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

wow heather... all my to you.

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

So, sorry to hear that!
My SIL has Lupus and she had a really rough time but that's b/c she wasn't diagnosed and she had all sorts of crazy stuff going on! At least you have a diagnosos and you can start educating yourself and start taking care of yourself the way you need to. One thing I know is to try your best to avoid stress!! Good luck w/ everything, oh and my Sil went on to have 2 beautiful children!

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

I'm so sorry sweetie!!!
Diagnosing Lupus is done with blood tests and looking at symptoms. If two doctors confirmed it, I would assume that it's a correct diagnosis. But only you know how you feel and if you want a 3rd opinion - go for it.

I'm very sorry for this news but I also know that it's definitely a condition that you can control with the right medication. I wish you all the best. FM me if you have any questions at any time.

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

i'm so sorry about this Heather...but u have to always know that it could be worse & stay as positive as you can! Lupas is so much more common than most think...my friend was actually diagnosed when we were 13..and my aunt has lived with it for years...they lead entirely normal lives...you're doing the right thing by not googleing & just taking in information from people who know what they're talking about. Take care of urself, listen to ur doctors & stay positive we love u & are all here for u!

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

Hey lady, the girls are right. Knowledge is power, but in this case, too much will just make you worry. Trust in your Dr's and let the prescribe you meds, and that will help. Talked ot my MIL last night. 1000's of people live with Lupus everyday, take care of your self and you will be fine. My love aand prayers with you

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

My mothers best friend has lupus. She has lived with it for a very long time and has also been very very healthy since Ive known her. Doctors told her she had to wait to have children and she did but eventually had a beautiful son. Im sorry you were diagnosed with this but just know that it is treatable.

Oh and dont google it, dont look anything up. The internet is a scary place and you will probably find all the negatives before you find the positives.

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

I'm sorry, Heather!! But you have answers now and can start a treatment plan that will make you feel better.

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

I am so sorry!

Re: I GOT BAD NEWS YESTERDAY

Heather, I am so sorry to hear this news.
Please don't be discouraged. With the correct treatment plan and learning how to manage it, you should be fine.
I know two ladies with lupus and they are doing fine.

Many and for you !
