My SlE symptoms are mainly related to skin issues . Its really hard to say what problem is causing what with me. I may be having problems with my upper bowel or pancreas with bad spasms . Then again it may be my hernia they can't tell as of yet. Other that that just the butterfly rash in the heat ,and mild discoid rashes . I have learned that I now have cataracts now . Which are being blamed on steroids . I had a eye exam just 7 months ago and it should no cataracts and now this new exam shows that they are in both eyes? I'm only 48 and haven't taken any steroids except for with the rituxan infusions back in Oct. 2012 .
Plus have any increase of the numbness in my feet , hands ( this may by from any of the 3 diseases ,RA,MS or the SLE).
I can say that since I've be taking pre-natal vitamins w/extra biotin ( the pre-natals I'd bought had no biotin in them ) my hair is growing in very nice.
Its been almost 6 months since I'd done the Rituxan treatment and can say I saw no changes except for extreme hair thinning.
The only benefits I've had have be from an extreme diet change. I've been blending veggies/fruit ,no sugar, very low to no carbs (meaning breads,white rice,white potato's,corn). Just really healthy eating (except yesterday as it was my birthday) . I cheat on the diet and am paying for it . Feeling awful now (its 3:42 am here and can't sleep).
Still waiting for the chemist to find a new non toxic treatment for us. I've tried copaxone and was of the rare ones that had an allergic reaction to it . Still hopeful that they make something else.
