I think I have had Lupus Tumidis for over 10 years. I was diagnosed last year when my entire back looked like it had a sunburn. My dermatologist did a biopsy when it didn't go away. I complained to her (as I've been saying to medical professionals for the last decade or so) that I feel badly all the time. Thank goodness, she checked for the Tumidis. She put me on generic Plaquenil, and 400 mg of Ibuprofen twice a day. I cannot take steroids, as they cause mania. Sometimes, however, I still have itchy and/or dry skin. What helps me with this is Amlactin lotion, they make a different one for feet. Sometimes too I get hives, but that's mostly when I'm reacting to stress. Now, most days I can function well. I saw a rheumatology student here in San Francisco at UCSF, but he wasn't very helpful. Hope this info helps. Feel free to write and ask questions. I'll check periodically.

I was diagnosed with Tumid Lupus Erythematosus in 2016. I was told that it does not itch, however, that's how I know it is flaring. I only have one small spot on my elbow and it only seems to itch and flare up in the warm months. It just started again and it's the first time since last summer. Other than that, there are no symptoms and it has not spread anywhere else. It itches pretty bad until I put over the counter hydrocortizone cream on it. After a few days, it goes away for a while. It does not match anything the doctor told me about it, but the blood work came back with this diagnosis. I am wondering what other people's symptoms are. I was told by the dermatologist that I do not have Lupus.

Thats how they found it for me too. They tested me many times for lupus in the blood. I was the one to push for more answers and to see a rymatolagist they did tests and good until i seen a lupus dermatolagist he ordered a biopsy right then. Thats how i feel too!

For the nausea that comes with the anxiety, it's possible to take prescription anti-nausea medicine. Talk to your doctor.
