Hi everyone,

I thought I would check in really quick. I have been offline for

several days due to computer problems. Hopefully things will be

better now. I'm so sorry to hear about so many people having some

serious problems. I will keep you all in my prayers! I hope your

health and recoveries are quick!

I had a bad weekend with a flareup keeping me in bed most of

Sunday. I went to the dentist last Thursday and had some teeth

worked on. Each day afterwards my gums seemed to get worse and

worse around the teeth he had worked on. I finally called the

doctor and he said I probably had a gum infection. He called in an

antibiotic and after a day of pills I am feeling better. I also did

quite a bit on Saturday with cleaning etc. and I suddenly noticed my

hands, wrists and lower arms were swelling. I decided I must need

to rest. The next day is when I felt so fatigued I stayed in bed

all day. Has anyone had the hand and arm swelling happen to them?

If so do you know what it was caused from or why it happens?

I guess I'd better get to bed but I wish you all a peaceful and

restful evening. Carol

Carol, whenever I see a dentist, I start taking an antibiotic the day

before. My primary prescribes it. It is a pretty normal thing to get

infections when your lupus teeth are being worked on. You may try that the

next time.
