Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 As many of you know, my Dad has Lupus too. He insists that he read (a couple of years ago) some research that showed that the sun really is not a trigger for Lupus. I, of course, do not agree with him and get sick EVERYTIME I'm out for very long. He had worn sunscreen for a long time. (He has had a DX for 32 years.) But now refuses to wear sunscreen, hats, long sleeves, etc. Does anyone know of this research that he is talking about or better yet - somewhere where they proved this particular study to be wrong? Since he's stopped wearing sunscreen, he's had two more heart attacks, his discoid is much worse and his kidneys are passing more protein...but I can't tell him anything!!! Is stubbornness a symptom too? We all seem to suffer from it! LOL Anyway, any help would be appreciated! Jerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Lupus is triggered by UV rays. Since the sun produces them, the sun causes lupus triggers.
