Question:
Been there and Done that!! So sorry you had to go through all that stuff… it is called a ‘major lupus flare’ and it can hit you anytime it so desires!! That is the part I hate worst of all … the insidious and sneaky way it can creep up out of the blue and throw you into hospital! Good luck in your recovery, ((hugs to you)) — from Shelagh Co-ordinator Of Valley-Lupus – Invisible in Plain Sight http://www3.telus.net/valleylupus/index.html Subgroup of BC Lupus Society and Lupus Canada Email: valleylu…@telus.net "RhondaM" <woo…@intcon.net> wrote in message

yep, sounds pretty much like a big ol nasty flare to me. I am so sorry you ended up in the ER. Sometimes that hurts as much as the flare. I hope you are feeling much better soon. Gentle (((HUGS))) for you. Wende "J Rogow" <JRo…@Newsguy.com> wrote in message

Has anyone ever had a flare where your joints hurt so bad all over your body that you shake and the throw up and feel like you are dying? Not to mention I was so weak I couldn’t walk and swollen in all my joints and my lyph nodes under my right breast and arm were swollen. Boy, I did yesterday. I felt as if I was dying. Ended up at the ER and with IV injections of solo medrol and torodol, demorol , and something for nausea x2. I have never done this before and it really freaked me out. Did I have a major flare? What should I ask my rhuemy to do next? Any ideas or feed back? I would very much appreciate anything anyone can add to help me out. Drs at the ER said it was a flare up. I was there six hours + , and was told to contact my Rhuemy soon. Freaked out here, RhondaM
