Hey myrab,
Look into heavy metals toxicity,mycotoxins, yeast metabolites, pathogenic mycoplasma infections, Lymes and food intolerance/allergies/sensitivities
for the answer. Go to a Holistic and Natural Health Doctor/Practitioner to help you with this. Try a carb free diet for 2-3 weeks for possible symptom improvement.
Cheers,
Niko

please read the post in the autoimmune forum about the raw food diet.  toxins cause all auto-immune diseases.  focus on healing/detoxing yourself and stay away from toxins as much as you can. there is so much information out there to help you. I have been dealing with autoimmune issues for years and am finally beginning to heal myself. find out what toxins you're exposing yourself to; that's the first step.

Lupus has caused me aches and pains in places I never knew could hurt.  I have days Im in so much pain, I can not motivate to get out of bed.  Mostly my neck, shoulders, arms and legs.  Sometimes my feet and knees. And it is different for everyone, so you will be told different things by different people.  From what I understand, each person has something different in each flare they experience.  So Im just starting this journey myself. My Dr started me on Plaquenil, hope it starts working soon.  I wish you the best of luck with yout treatment and I hope you find the answers you are looking for.  A good resource I found was www.lupus.org.

Do you have night fevers? rapid heart rate? you might want to ask your rehumatologist if he/she thinks you might have "Still's Disease".
