No hope, no cure, no future. Hit rock bottom ;(
Forgive me for this extra long post, but I'm honest and truly at the end of my rope. The "s" word has crossed my mind a lot in the last few days, and I was hoping a session of hypnotherapy would relieve it. It didn't, in fact only moments after leaving I fell to my knees in tears. I'll explain my story

Chronic constipation is miserable and non of the medics seem to be bothered
Hi, Since my diagnosis of lupus 12 years ago, it has become blatantly apparent that my bowel is affected by the disease. I have spoken to my doctor, rheumy and several other medics and all they want to know is that if I take laxatives, am I able to go to the loo. The answer is yes but I am finding

I am just about to trial pure aloe Vera gel, has anyone else tried it out?
I have been told that it could help protect my stomach and build up my immune system. I am really hoping it will stop the griping,nausea and general bloating. If anyone out there has first hand experience of it, how has it helped

Reducing inflammation of the gut walls caused by gluten with the aid of natural healing aids (and a Gluten Free diet)
When newly diagnosed with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity or when accidental ingestion of gluten has taken place, then very often the gut wall of the small intestine will become inflamed. The small intestine is quite complex as it comprises of four compartments within the duodenum itself: these

Sulfasalazine Rash?
Hi folks, am looking for a bit of advice as a few weeks into starting on Sulfa I have developed a bit of a rash under my armpits, very itchy I might add, but it puts me in mind of prickly heat which I had on a holiday in a very hot country. Does anyone have a bit of a home cure, at the moment I'm washing

The last five weeks have been a little hairy but it is not all bad news.
A few weeks back, I was started on a very very low dose trial of 'Plaquenil'. i was full of hope about this...as my young daughter is doing better than she was at age 15 with her dose of 'plaquenil' and 'aspirin'. I was well read and informed, and knew with my profile and also mixture of five diseases

Topic of the Month: February - Coping with Mouth Ulcers
Oral ulcers and sores are a common symptom in lupus patients. Whilst they are not life-threatening they can be exceptionally uncomfortable and so any measure to prevent or treat them can be very beneficial. Lupus can cause recurrent mouth ulcers, but it is not the only cause. There

Aloe Vera
Hello, I have a 9 year old son with mild to moderate asthma. I've just heard that taking daily aloe vera as a drink can help, so was wondering has anyone tried this and did it have any effect? Rachel McCrthy
