Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 I II didn’t want to tell you that you have lupus if the Dr. said you don’t. If I went into remission I might be inclined to say I don’t have it NOW (remission). HeHere is the part that really floored me: >> He also said that I don't need to avoid the sun or U.V. rays.....since I don't have Lupus .....He also said that most Lupus Patients don't have Photosensitivity anyway ! .....MOUTH GETTING WIDER......He asked me if I get a rash or flu-like symtoms or fever when I am in the sun......I said I don't test it .....since I was diagnosed with Lupus ....and was told not to go in the sun without sunscreen and a hat and long sleeves....that's what I do. He said he doesn't restrict his Lupus patient from going in the sun unless they have ......something..... I can't remember what he called it that indicates photosensitivity From: Carey Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:20 PM To: LUPIES Subject: Re: I DON'T HAVE LUPUS Dear Cheryl. Of course I still have Lupus !!This New Rheumy is just a negligent, Ignorant Jerk-off ! You and I both know that Lupus doesnt just go away.....I am in remission.....but the WOLF still lurks......And of course I will stay with the group......if it wasn't for all the good information.to be had here....I could have believed this Fool and wound up really sick. Fibromyalgia, and Sjogren's Syndrom.......MY MOUTH IS STILL HANGING OPEN!.......

I can't remember what he called it that indicates photosensitivity..........He took my blood pressure....which was 150/70......listened to my chest.......pressed on my left ankle and said the slight edema was caused by Norvasc, my blood pressure medication.......He told me to keep seeing my Nephrologist, but my kidney involvment was caused by high blood pressure not Lupus.....Cause I don't have Lupus ! He lowered my dose of Prednisone to 71/2 mg. a day, told me to keep taking all my other meds as usual, and come back in 3 Months........I'm not surprised that he told me that I have Fibromyalgia and Sjogren's Syndrome.......But I don't have Lupus Anymore???
