Hey gang,
So my flares are tied to my hormones. I flare at least once a month. Lately my menopause symptoms have increased and my Lupus symptoms have followed suit.

Hello everyone and many blessings. Calli I know exactly what you are going through. I have experience all these symptoms. Stress will make them symptoms worse. Depression as well. I have been taking the vitamin called Mega Red you can get it fom Walmart,CVS and target. I take one a day with my meds and honestly all the symptoms slowed down. I honestly can say they helped alot.
Thanks, Calli, I have been having more good days lately. You know how that goes, though--just when we think that, something else pops up! 😂💜
@CherlisaLilTrubbleSmith--That's great to hear it helped you, Cherlisa. I see that it's an omega-3 fatty acid fish oil supplement. Another way to get omega-3s is by eating flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts, FYI.
CherlisaLilTrubbleSmith....Thank you, I will definitely look into this!🥰
