Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 to the ball of confusion known as lupus. I too have fibro, arthritis, lupus and some other junk. I think I have just about given up on trying to figure out which pain goes with which illness. I’m sick, oh well, too bad, there is no cure for any of it anyway.

I was diagnosed with RA and fibro, with Lupus diagnosis pending. For the life of me, I can't figure out which disease is causing what problem! My doctor said the muscle spasms and muscle aches are mostly fibro, the joint swelling and problems with my hands are RA and maybe Lupus, and the numbness/tingling and sensitivity to cold in my hands and feet are probably Lupus. As for treatment, I'm taking Plaquenil and methotrexate, which are common for RA and Lupus, and Celebrex for RA. I'm starting physical therapy which will help all three. The non-steroidal anti- inflammatories which are good for fibro interact with my other stuff so for pain I'm taking Unum (Tramadol) as needed. Confusing!!! -Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
