Moving (relocation) and lupus

[linicole]

Hi friends! I hope you are doing well!

I have been feeling better until a few days ago after I came back to Colorado.

I have been traveling in Europe for my class this past month, and was in China visiting my family for 2 weeks before my class in Europe. I didn’t take any medication and I felt great. I had almost zero symptoms when I traveled in other places.

I came back to Fort Collins, Colorado a few days ago and I started having nosebleeding again. It was not super serious ( stopped in 5 minutes and it was not pouring) but it definitely scared me a lot. This morning, I woke up with nosebleeding too.

My diagnosis of Lupus is actually after moving to Colorado for school. I didn’t know I have lupus when I was in China because I was very “healthy”.

Anyone experiences similar situations-moving to a specific new place and you body reacts a lot and you feel terrible? What do you do then? Do you move to another place as soon as you can??

I know someone who traveled to Australia and her symptoms got worsen in a few days, she passed up because of lupus flares in such a young age. Want to hear your experiences and stories! ❤️

Thanks a lot! Always stand by your side and your support mean a lot to me!

I haven't experienced this myself but things like stress from traveling, differences in weather or sunlight could trigger flare-ups.

It’s probably something to do with the American diet?probably the worst on this planet???

Are you by chance living in an older property. If so could there be mould spores anywhere? Been listening to some stuff online about mould toxins and their effects.

Either way there could be something related to your being at home. Possibly just the stress of getting back to the regular 9-5.

But in Europe the foods are largely GMO free whereas in the US the situation is probably the reverse.
