I can't use my hands because they hurt so bad. I can not keep a job because of the lupus. I signed up for disability and was denied. What do I do?

Talk to your doctor. You are problably going through inflammation. You need to change your meds maybe.

It's your lymph glands. Mine did that the first couple of times. It's backed off some. Now when it happens, it just feels like I have a sock shoved in my arm pit. Yours may too, or it may not. Its Lupus.

Get a better doctor who can document your disability!! With as much back up and even video if you have it. Don't give up. Don't EVER give up !! 😕
