Printable Lupus Symptoms Checklist
Hello all,
I am re-posting this for the new readers and those that may have missed it before. I want to pass along a fact sheet and printable checklist that you can use to take to your doctor, so they can see in detail what kind of lupus symptoms or concerns you have, and when they first appeared.
The form is easy to use just print it out, then check the boxes that apply to your specific symptoms and fill in the dates you noticed them. You can download the checklist directly from here Lupus Checklist

What are the symptoms and available treatments for Lupus?
Any information, links to information, experience or suggests are welcome. They are for a close friend of mine who was recently diagnose with Lupus and is understandably a little frightened.
Answer
I was diagnosed in 04 and it is quite understandable that she is frightened. Although there is no cure , doctors can prescribe many different types of meds to “control” the severity of pain and over function of our immune systems. Trying to maintain less stress will help with flare ups. She can have children , she can lead a pretty normal life we just have a chameleon disease. Sometimes its really hard , pain-full , and depressing but I try to look to a better tomorrow. As long as her family and friends support here and make her understand this better . The more comfortable she will become in her skin. I hope she seeks treatment and embraces life! I have included a wonderful web site.
