Having problems with message search?
My Lupus symptoms have increased considerably, with severe joint pain, fevers, rashes, seizures, hair loss, frequent infections and protein in my urine. My Lupus blood tests are really off the charts too. I guess my immune system doesn't like having pieces of metal and polyester in my body. I have had to live on steroids for the past several months just to keep the Lupus managable. I've never had to do that before.
So if anyone out there has an auto-immune disease and is considering the surgery, consider it carefully.

Amplatzer. I also have Lupus, and it seems that my Lupus has been a
little haywire since the surgery, and just won't calm down. In fact,
my Lupus has never been this bad my whole life, and my immunologist
thinks it is a response to the surgery and the foriegn device
implanted in me.
