Feeling really rubbish at the moment been on pain killers all weekend went to a friends party itchy sore,it was really embarrasing trying not to scratch in public and hoping no one could see the blisters and cuts kept my coat on so that they was'nt on show on my neck arms but now i'm getting blotches on my face and the butterfly rash across my nose so embarrased just dont want to go out at the moment also really tired.Also got a birthday meal to go to at the weekend dreading it.

Hi Jenni. I'm Casey, I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with lupus. I have the butterfly rash on my face and the itchy blisters on my hands feet and knees and my legs just itch all over. I've got my apt today to get some hydroxy thingy tablets. I'm dreading it. I have my friends 40th birthday party at the wknd n I'm dreading it too. Just know I'll get asked 'what's that on your face?' erugh! At least we're not alone eh, hope you feel happier soon x
