Hi Carol,

I'm a new member too, welcome! Lupus is such a scary thing, this is

a great group to belong to, everyone is so nice and supportive and

full of great information!!! About your choices to take drugs or not

to, it is such an individual decision and such a hard one too, I

completely understand. I've chosen the natural route and have a lot

of success with it. Recently, I've contemplated using drugs because

I've been so desperate but just yesterday I actually just realized

that my recent flares are a result of the acupuncture I've been

trying as been antidoting the effects of the homeopathic remedies I

had been taking. For you and for anyone that is interested,

homeopathy has been amazing for me. I've been using it consistently

for 3 years now and it has controlled my arthritis, mouth sores,

pleurisy, lymph node swelling, frequent infections, brain

fog/numbness and numerous other things that we are often afflicted

with. It also helps me with my crazy anxiety about me health that I

feel so often and makes me feel happier inside. It is definitely not

the cure all as I have yet to find a remedy for my extreme fatigue

but I have hope ...

I have soooo much respect for everyone dealing with this debilitating

disease and choosing whichever healing method works for them. I hope

that nobody takes this post in the wrong way like I'm pushing these

therapies. After all, we are all so individual and need to be

treated as such. I have just found something that works for me....(I

also do colon therapy and try to follow a special diet, although the

chocolate sneaks in there way too much!) If you have *any*

questions, I would be more than happy to answer them.

Healing wishes,

Asha
