Lupus, The Skin & Hair - Dr Abby Macbeth (East Anglia Lupus Info Day, Oct 2013)

[@irmadennington2773]

I suffered much from SLE , hair , skin , liver, heart, kidney, blood,have few scars but now I'm free! The enemies to avoid is direct sunlight, sugar, sweet drinks or anything with sugar is the worst enemy. Carbohydrates, vegetable sprouts especially alfalfa, avoided on dangerous oils and fats, no I denied any medications, instead opted on natural remedies, no alcohol, my diet was changed into mainly herbs and vegetables. Everyday I had ginger tea, plenty of tropical fruits , apples and fish. I use baking soda and ACV as shampoo and as soap . Now, I use castor oil to rub my scars and scalp.. enjoying my thickening hair now . Hope to help someone suffering from this terrible disease.

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Thank you for sharing your experiences Irma. I am glad to hear that you have had success in managing your lupus and found things that work for you. I would like to state that it is important to bear in mind that lupus presents differently in everyone and whilst some people may be able to manage their condition through adaptations in their lifestyle alone, for others treatment can be very important and life-saving. We would encourage people to discuss any complementary therapies or radical changes in their diet with their doctor first.

I was diagnosed with lupus in 2000 by SOCIAL security. It's been hell for 18.years. The medication I have to have from vitamin D to heart meds Cost 1629.00 a month. But social security helps me I only pay 3.35 a prescription. Which I have 11 prescriptions a month. It's horrible. I have thyroid disease The spots on my arms and face are embarrassing. One person ask me if I had aids due to the blood spots. My hair is so thin..and more coming out. The painful part is my joints...especially my knees.. Hands and elbows. Any joint is painful.

My hair started falling out when I was 27. That was so depressing. I’m 35 now, my hair is still pretty thin on top compared to what it used to be. Really makes me feel self conscious how I wear my hair. But aside from that, the constant joint pain is by far the worst for me. I’m going through it right now. Mornings are the hardest, I can barely walk for at least an hour or 2.

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Hi Rikki. As this presentation was given at a UK event where we have a national health service, lupus patients here don't experience this situation often. I'm sorry to hear if you are currently unable to get treatment for your lupus. Have you contacted the Lupus Foundation of America to see whether they can provide any helpful information or advice for your situation?

[@rikkihurt]

LUPUS UK yeah, I noticed that... I have not contacted them. I will try that. I just know I'm America there is very little you can you without insurance or lots of money. I can't even work my entire body is constantly in agony and I'm too tied to do anything just of the time.

Hello,my ana result was 1.320,I'm not sure if i have lupus yet but i have food sensitivities and develop hives and rashes on my face and neck,could this possibly cause a positive ana result ?

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Hello. Unfortunately an ANA result by itself cannot confirm a diagnosis of lupus because it can also be positive in a number of other autoimmune conditions and a small percentage of healthy people. To confirm a diagnosis, your doctor will need to do some additional autoantibody blood tests. You can learn more about this in our article here - www.lupusuk.org.uk/getting-diagnosed/

[@ridgeforrester5199]

@@LUPUSUKOfficial thankyou

[@katiejo1095]

I my opinion,, Lupus is caused by skin mites systematic Lupus is caused m By internal parasites that travel through the bloodvessels and land in the skin. In my opinion,, Topically you need a fungicide to dry them up and get rid of their ability to reproduce. Read up on parasitic detox and flush out your gut. Drink olive oil, coconut oil and eat raw garlic.

[@dysaorith2563]

I am a new lupus. How can I help myself?

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

A good place to start could be to order/download a free information pack. You can find this at www.lupusuk.org.uk/request-information-pack/ It is important to take your medication as prescribed by your doctor, maintain a healthy lifestyle and try to avoid/prevent triggers for the disease such as exposure to UV light and stress.

[@katiejo1095]

In my experience, ( I am not a doctor but a sufferer), this is caused by mites on the skin. They burrow and produce a fungus on the skin that allows them to expand the infection. Get a strong antifungal spray and dry them up, you can use lemon, garlic, salt. Use hydrogen peroxide and everywhere that turns white and bubbles, there are mites. They cover your skin and hair follicles with the fungus and when you get rid of it your hair and normal skin will come back.

Won't using so many uva/uvb sunscreens cause vit D deficiency? Isn't vit D deficiency a major factor in SLE, as it causes disrupted calcium utilization? More importantly, do you have ANY suggestions that don't include poisoning oneself with steroids or disabling oneself via calcium deficiency?

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Hi. Vitamin D deficiency is a concern for people with lupus if they need to reduce UV exposure to prevent flares. Many lupus patients have their vitamin D levels tested by their consultants and if they are deficient supplements can be prescribed.

[@adanoid]

I had large egg size rashes and smaller marble sized ones on my arms and legs after standing outside with just a t shirt and undies at midnight looking up at a helicopter circling the house for 30 min. It was a full moon and I wondered if that moonlight had anything to do with it? I discovered the rash in the morning. Now it flares up every few weeks and is burning and red.

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

I would think it is extremely unlikely to have been triggered by moonlight because the reflected light from the moon is significantly less than the sun. If you haven't already, it may be worth discussing the rashes with your doctor.

[@adanoid]

@@LUPUSUKOfficial Thanks, I did see the Dr. He got me to use steroid cream which caused them to fade but then 3 weeks later they burst out bright red and burning with others appearing in knew locations. This has repeated 4 times in last few months. Dr wanted to do biopsy for Lupus but they faded again and he wants to wait and see. I have had a bad butterfly face rash for many years.

[@maryjanney1361]

In discussion with my friend she said that she will never make payment to any medication when I ask why? She said four consecutive times she ordered and she didn't see any, I feel for her anyway because is not easy to be disappointed but, I told her my product is arriving US tomorrow according to DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on KZbin and it was so, not only that I got healed just within 17days of usage. And my friend who said over her dead body will she order for any medication is now asking me to give her the doctor number. May you live long to heal more souls👍

Hi reesie. This is the first I have ever heard of hair infinity. I am not aware of there being any research into its affects on people with lupus. I would recommend that you ask the advice of your consultant before starting any supplements like this, as they will be in the best position to advise you.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you have been experiencing these symptoms and, as yet, do not have a satisfactory diagnosis. Have you had a referral to a rheumatologist to be investigated for autoimmune conditions, including lupus?

[@talksick508]

LUPUS UK I’ve been to so many docs Some say Sicca syndrome Some say endo issues Others say rheum It’s so annoying

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Unfortunately it can be very difficult to diagnose a disease like lupus because it presents differently in each patient and the symptoms can often mimic other conditions. Have you been to a rheumatologist? They are probably the best specialists to see for something like this. Sometimes it is best to seek a referral to a rheumatologist who has a specialist interest in lupus. Are you in the UK?

[@talksick508]

LUPUS UK I saw a rheum one said Sicca sybdrome not sjorgens Because ssa ssb negative and lip biopsy negative And then said not lupus But my sed rate was a 10 and all these symptoms for 10 years My Ana speckled 1:160 Diffuse All started after accutane drug these symptoms years ago I’m in bed 15 hours a day from lack of sleep I keep waking up and can’t fall back asleep Exhausted Eyes and nose dry when waking and mouth (mouth is better thru day) Flushing rash on face Dark swollen eyes Cold hands and feet Hair thin dandruff comes out some pieces when I wash And my eyebrows eye lashes easy too Sometimes urinate excess at night No clue anymore Never seen one who had interest in it and not in the U.K. in USA

[@LUPUSUKOfficial]

Unfortunately blood tests are not always reliable by themselves for diagnosing these conditions as they can sometimes be seronegative. That is when it can be helpful to see a specialist. It may be worth contacting the Lupus Foundation of America to see if they can recommend any specialists near to where you live. lupus.org/
