Bad time of it.

I have had enough of it all, things keep going from bad to worse, fractured my metatarsal in my foot, then fractured my little finger. Need knee replacement my local hospital won't do it, cos of the lupus and having two strokes. Want to keep working don't want to be at home claiming benefit . Going for second opinion. Just been told have a Bosnik cyst type 2f /3. So more scan needed, at the moment very tired lots of pain and just getting harder to keep going. Have ask for blood test to check my thyroid in case it's changed. .

Has anyone had knee replacement with APS/LUPUS . Did you have anesthetic or spinal injection to numb lower body. Anyone got and advice so when I see second doctor I can give suggestions, thanks. Sorry for rant.

I only ask you where you live and what anticoagulation therapy you are on? We can help you better that way.

Do you have both Lupus and APS and Thyroidea also?

Hope someone can answer you who knows about these things.

Best wishes and good luck and hope you will soon feel a little better again!

As Mary always states, check your levels on Vit D3, B-12, and ferritin.
