Also, my body is so swollen (no steroids either). I've been using an OTC
diuretic and drinking lots of water... but nothing.  My fingers look like

I'm new to the area and was wondering if anyone can recommend a
rheumatologist in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina? Or, an
orthopedic surgeon? Thanks.

I haven't been able to shake this cough; and was worried when I started
running a fever.

I've been away for some time now and I wonder if anyone has heard from
Judith?
Thanks for an update,

I woke up in the middle of the night with such severe pain I wasn't sure what
to do.  I made my way to the bathroom and turned on the light.  The pain was
between my sterum and bellybutton and all the way around the back.  I couldn't
even stand up straight.  I didn't know  want to ...

Does anyone have any opinion's or advice on which supplements to use
and which to avoid for lupus. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all those who expressed their sympathy at the loss of my beloved
Golden. Her death has hit me very hard and I withdrew for a while. I am
trying to read and post again. Welcome to the new people, and to those who
were away for a while. I can't begin to reply to all of you ...

It is out there now people.  I wrote the editor and believe this?
My letter to the editor got printed.  I got my name in a magazine, believe
it or not LOL.
