    Hi Vicki, Thanks for your reply. I have heard that hormone pills do work, but they are not an option for me at all. I asked my Rheumatologist if I could try them, because my Sister-in-law is using them and they help with the hot flashes and he said absolutely not. He shot it down quick, fast, and in a hurry like, because he told me it will put me...

    ARCHIVED Lupus

    Kathy-W replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi. I forgot to mention in the other posts about some of the symptoms that led to me being diagnosed with SLE (Systemic Lupus). I have serious problems with sun sensitivity and actually sunburn through the car windows which is definitely not normal. If I am in the sun to long, I get a very severe headache with nausea and vomiting. One time at a family...

    Thank you so much celiac3270. I do feel better about it. I will let everyone know what is going on. I think I will find out on the 2nd of next month when I go back to the Rheumatologist. My twin sister told me the same thing, because she knows I panic very easily. Kathleen

    ARCHIVED Lupus

    Kathy-W replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi I finally found the forum that addresses Lupus. I have a twin sister with severe celiac disease. I have a younger sister that is also a twin who has Lupus. Well for years I had very mild Lupus symptoms and did not realize it. That is until I turned 35 years old and contracted the Chickenpox. After I got over that, my health went down badly. I had...

    Thank you Tiffany. I will have it done if I have to. I am afraid, because I don't want to end up dead. My sister told me that celiac disease that is left untreated can lead to your demise. I would not listen to my sister for a long time, because I guess I was in a state of denial. I thought man if I got this then I am in big trouble, because I like to...

I have heavy bleeding and always have and they last 5 to 7 days. I am 45 now and going through menopause, I think. I get the the hot flashes from hell. I get a severe headache the first day of every period...

    I talked with my twin sister, who has celiac disease that was confirmed by an intestinal biopsy several years ago as I too am very afraid of having that done to me. She assured me that it is not that bad and that they do sedate you. She said it only takes a few minutes to do and you don't feel it. She told me that the tube is not that big and that you...

    Wow, to think that they threw the specimen out! I feel sorry for your brother. I can imagine how he felt. I would be very upset if that happened to me and somebody would defintely hear about it. Kathleen

    Thank you so much for answering my post, because I thought I was going to go insane. Shoot I thought I was a hyperchondriac etc. I am very much overweight and my twin sister is very thin and tiny built. I am tall also. My twin sister has celiac disease but she does not ever get the nasty itchy blistery rash like I get. I also have Systemic Lupus. For...

    Hi all. My name is Kathleen. I love this site and the forums that I have read so far. My twin sister has celiac disease really bad and is on a glutan free diet and has been on one for several years. This is weird, but I have SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythmetosis). Anyway for years I have had this horrible blistery itchy nasty rash on the palms of my hands...

    Well my blood type is A positive. My mother's blood type was O positive and my father's blood type was A negative. I don't know what that means, but I do have the dermatitis problems big time. I am being tested for celiac disease. Interesting though don't you think? I also have Systemic Lupus. Oh well.

    Oh thank heavens I found this place. I have finally found the answer to my problems big time. I have a twin sister with Celiac Sprue, but she does not have the skin problems that I have. I also have SLE, Systemic Lupus. I have a positive ANA for Lupus big time. I have a very servere itchy blistery rash on my hands and feet big time. The blisters break...

    I don't quite know what to say, but I have a twin sister with severe Celiac Sprue. I have Lupus, SLE, but I have a lot of the same symptoms that she has. My twin sister is very thin and I am very much overweight. I have the terrible bloating and severe diarrhea if I eat pasta or anything that contains glutan. I also have a serious eczema blistery rash...
