Are tremors part of Lupus?

They very well can be.  Lupus is a disease of many faces.  My daughter has lupus.  She has had tremors also.\n\nJust to be on the safe side, please see your doctor.  Symptoms vary widely, it is necessary to seek help for a proper diagnosis.

There is no definitive cause for Lupus like there is for cancer. It can be caused by diet, cleaning products, personal products or any number of combinations of these. Something is causing your body not to respond like it should and that is usually toxins in your environment.

To the best of my knowledge, lupus panels do not require fasting prior to the blood draw.  Fasting is suggested to test for blood sugar and some labs like the patient to have fasted prior to testing for cholesterol and other fats.  I've never heard it being done for lupus, since eating is not going to skew the measurements of the antibodies that are taken for lupus testing.

Most of them have Parkinson's and a host of other ailments. They take several prescription medications and some of these meds have horrible side effects.  Some senior citizens may have neurological problems and some of these cause tremors too.  I work in a Retirement Home and we just try to make them as comfortable as possible.

Have you thought about filing for Social Security Disability?  And then I would also contact you county health and social services department.  They may be able to get you on your state medicaid program.\n\nI have Lupus and APS....it isn't fun.  So far I haven't been in the hospital this year.  First time in a long time.

I haven't heard about that, but you might go to the Lupus Research Foundation's website (or that of another support group for lupus) to inquire.  They may be able to point you in the right direction.

Lupus is an autoimmune disorder and it could cause undue inflammation to any part of the part. I guess your hand as had been disturbed by the puncture had caused an autoimmune response to the site causing your own cells  to swell when in fact the bruise from the venipuncture had been healed already. \n\nTry to check it with your physical,  it might be another thing. Lupus might have done it or maybe a dislodged catheter tip had been left in your tissues causing it to swell from time to time. But i guess your lupus has a  big part for it. There are lots of possibilities/reasons to cause it.

Hi. I have systemic lupus and my pain sort of varies. Sometimes I feel really good. Sometimes I feel horrible. I have aching that is sometimes accompanied by a low fever. I take Ibuprofen and go to bed. Rest is one of the best things for Lupus. The joints that it seems to affect the most on me is my hip, knee, and shoulders.\nHope this helps :-)

If you have been recently diagnosed with Lupus or have someone close to you that has been you may have many questions.  Find out if there is a support group in your area.  If not there are multiple resources (as listed by an earlier answer).\n\nTo "Live" with lupus is a choice quite simply... TO LIVE... the symptoms can be managed somewhat.  The key to it all is to find a doctor you are comfortable with.  Keep your appointments... treat infections and illness ASAP.  DO not try to be uberperson... rest when you need to rest, eat healthy, exercise whenever you can tolerate it.  The world will have to get with the program.

First of all, I'm sorry for your mom.  My mom had Lupus also. Check with the social security office on applying for disability.  I know my mom didn't qualify, but she never was able to work.

I suffer from the effects of lupus also. Your energy level is a hard thing to deal with, believe me I know. I personally do what I can when I am able. Have you talked with your doctor about it? My doctor gave me this same advice. "Do what you can when your level is up and rest when you need to". You have to allow your body to catch up. Sometimes when I over do it I end up in bed for days. Each person is different. I hope you have a good relationship with your doctor or doctors like in my case. So, when things change with your body's' health you can get the best advice for you. I would love to talk sometime, since we have the same disease. I know from my own experience that talking helps.

I really don't think they will let you in with Lupus.  Alot of the things in the military would aggravate this disease, and I'm pretty sure the inprocessing doctors would not let you through.  You can always try, there is no harm in trying and make sure you let the docs know you have this condition.  My best guess however is no they won't let you in.

Im so sorry that your mum is suffering from this very cruel debilitating condition.\n\nAs I know you will be aware lupus affects so many internal organs so working out if this is lupus related is not easy, as the painful neck could be down to usual wear and tear etc. Musco skeletal injury, back pain, knee pain etc often presents itself as neck and head pain.\n\nHas she thought about a neuromuscular consultation?   to eliminate the chance that she may have accumulative strain through holding herself stiffly? The fact that the pain is worse when she slouches seems to point to it being a lower back problem?  (We are all really good at standing on one leg if the other one hurts therefore damaging the good leg etc)\n\nA neuromuscular therapist could show her how to relax, how to move in pattern, and how to recognise when her everyday movements are taking her into pain?\n\nGood luck to you both
