Male with lupus? Treatment advice

3 Replies

hi everyone, on behalf of my boyfriend I have joined this to find out more about his condition and what will help him. He’s 23 and was diagnosed with lupus about 3 years ago. He has never met another male with lupus. Currently he has had a flare up and is suffering from fatigue, chest pains and swellings of his joints and has had to take steroids. Would love any advice on treatments or diet ect which other people find helpful and especially any other males with lupus that he can talk to. Thank you!

Hi - I run a support group and finally after 2 years we have 2 men join. See if you can find a local Support Group - it has helped me as much as others in group. Good luck
