Bad day

If the lupus rash wasn't enough my acne has flared up as well 😢. Sick of not being able to to go out with my mates because of my tablet scheme don't wanna be popping pills out in middle of a party. Who said life for an 18year old would be like this. Moan over

Hi Smithay, luckily I don't get severe Lupus rashes but there are forum members who do so I hope they will reply & give support. With your tablet scheme, can you try different combinations at different times? It's all a bit trial & error to find out works for you. I used to take some meds AM but they were making me sleepy thru the day so now I take them PM. If I know I'm out with friends all noon or night, I eat & take the larger no of meds before I go out cos' if I rtn home late, can't be bothered to cook & just want to sleep. My body's adapted to the meds now (3yrs). Diet, trauma, unhealthy stressful lifestyles tend to trigger Lupus so remember this when partying. I've learned to adapt & find positive coping ways (meditation, yoga, positive thinking, mindfulness), hope you consciously cope as well so you can live your life. Positive blessings to you

You go party if that's what you want to do and you feel up to it!! Take a bottle of water if necessary and pop to the loo to take your pills. If your friends know about your health I'm sure they'll be understanding...cheer up and go have some fun xx

Thanks. My friends are understanding which is great and don't treat me any different. No one excepts life to throw things at you. I'm going to a friends a level party even though I don't do them on the 13th. Can't wait
