I went through rigid physical training and I think I'm having a flare after it 😞 I had a sore throat that led to ear infection. Now I'm dizzy all day. Is it worth it to go through antibiotics?

Hi KillLupusGal,
Have you spoken to your doctor about the symptoms you are experiencing? If you are experiencing symptoms of an infection then it may be best to let them know. This is especially important if you are on any immunosuppressant treatments because then antibiotic or antiviral medications may be needed.
Although exercise is important, it is crucial that you do not over exhaust yourself as it takes time for the body to ease itself into a new routine of exercise. It is advised to consult your GP or physiotherapist before undertaking new exercise regimes to ensure you can gain the most out of them.
There is a variety of aquatic exercises a person can do to such as water aerobics or stretching in the pool to help reduce the strain on the joints and relieve pain. We published an article last year on lupus and exercise with helpful tips and information. You can read this article here: lupusuk.org.uk/lupus-and-ex...
