HI Hels. I was diagnosed as the beginning of the year after attending the hospital with what I thought was a ligament problem in my knee. I suffered with joint problems and tiredness for years (as well as lots of other stuff) but my GP said it was post natal.
It was a massive shock for me too, and I spent the first 6 months feeling sorry for myself and going backwards and forwards to the hosp trying different medications to keep it under control, most of which I've had a reaction to.
All I can say is, it took control of me for the first six months, now I have control of it.. I just get on with everything as I did before, when I have bad days/weeks, I just limit what I do and sleep lots, just take the medication and it will ease.... xx
Know just as you feel. I can't even put words to gether have typed this twice. I am off work too and very low but reading all the comments we are not alone!
The only people who really understand Lupus are those who have it. That is why these forums, facebook and other social media have been fantastic in joining us all together and helping us through this nasty disease. No matter how much you educate those around no one truly understands.
It certainly gives you a lift when your feeling down to know there are others who feel the same. I too are new to this site, What a great bunch you all are. xx
I have found this group & the ones on facebook a great help, i dont know anyone with lupus so being able to asked some questions or even have a good moan to people who understand has been a great help.
Thank you all again for your support it has been appreciated.
It's not moaning, it's sharing with other people who totally understand how you feel. It's so hard to make people understand how the disease makes you feel when they don't have it. It's caused relationship problems for me in the past, especially when I'm always tired. So I get why you feel sorry for yourself, I've been there too.
