Check out www.mercola.com. Alternative health doctor. Use the search at the top. He has a million articles. I use his sight all the time. Right now I'm dealing with gall bladder issues. Doctors want to take it out only 2 wks after having my very first symptom. What about trying something alternative first? Well that's what I'm trying to do. Seems to be working so far. Dr Mercola's site helped me a lot. He also says that over a million americans get their gall bladder out each yr, when in reality, only a few thousand really needed to have it removed. Sign up for his newsletter. They are all very interesting.

Sammy, Sorry about my late response. I have Lupus too. I recommend joining a local support and online group. They were a huge help. Not that your family won't be, but no one can truly understand what it's like unless they live it. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. I'll be more than happy to help or at least guide you in the right direction. Are you on Plaquenil or Prednisone?
Take care,
Kathy
Hugs xxxx I know how difficult and life changing this disease can be.
