Lupus anyone?

I've been virtually symptom free ever since I was diagnosed and put on the right meds, and have felt great since pregnancy. We are close to being weaned, my period is back, and I feel worse than I've ever felt fatigue and horrible joint pain. It is freaking me out because I almost feel like I'm afraid to be alone with DD and can't take care of her lifting is hard, etc. Just wondering if anybody had a similar experience and went back to pre pregnancy status or if some version of this is going to be my new normal.

I've heard that flares are common when your period comes back. I hope this is a flare and then goes back to what it was before!

Re: Lupus anyone?

  • I always feel worse when around when I get my period, it has a lot to do with hormonal changes. I've been struggling with the symptoms for years, during my pregnancy I felt much better and after LO was born I felt terrible. It got better eventually, I had to have my meds changed a bit but it did get better. I do however feel like I have more bad days now thn I did before LO. I hope you are feeling better and back to normal soon.

  • I haven't officially been diagnosed yet, but I always flare up before my period. It's the worst.
