i'm on treatment for lupus almost for a year.it's almost 2 weeks i'm having severe right lower abdominal pain,its kind of burning and feel like a fullness in that region ,worse after having food-either i feel like vomiting or have to rush to the toilet.since i'm on 8 tablets in the morning,2 in the afternoon and 9 in the evening i'm forced to have food too.3 days back i got fed up and consulted a physician who prescribed me with omeprazole and pain killers and sent for Hpylori test which was found to be negative.maybe its the stomach acids but i hope everyone knows tht its an embarrassing situation and i'm tired of consulting doctors after being diagnosed with lupus .anyone out there please help.

anyone having burning right lower abdominal pain which has progressed to upper abdomen while on treatment for lupus?
Hi Nica - In my experience, one's guts/innards can become inflamed by SLE in just the same way as any other parts of our bodies. I regularly use Immodium for tummy flares. However, please be aware that severe abdominal pain on the right can signal appendicitis so do please get this checked out!
Yes I get this, have it at the moment. Getting it when flaring so I presume it's inflammation, went to a and e with it once as it was so severe and I thought I had my appendix. It's horrible.
