I always think about relocating to a bigger area for a lot of reasons, but I don't want to move somewhere that the climate is not good for people with lupus or fibromyalgia. I live in NM now, which a lot of people move here just for our weather, but we do not have a lot of resources for medical or schooling. Any suggestions? I've thought about Texas or North Carolina, but I'm scared about the humidity.

I find it really difficult to remember to reapply every two hours, and many of the sunscreens I've tried don't seem to provide all that solid protection. I'm wondering if there are any new sunscreen innovations that provide better or longer lasting protection? What works for you?

Thanks for any thoughts!

My pain mngmt and orthopedic want me to go to pt, but I wonder🤔, because I was very strong with no pain or swelling one week before I became active with lupus. I feel like if lupus is what is causing my muscles to be weak (not to mention inflammation causing pain and weakness) and lupus is causing my fatigue (I also have sjogrens,fibromyalgia, and copd) then how do they expect me to gain strength by exercising if my lupus is still active? My rheumy agrees with me, he says first you have to put… read more

I have been getting sick constantly lately and it is taking longer to get better. It probably has to do with the Benlysta weakening my immune system but I need to do something to boost it. Everyone tells me their opinions but I would like to know what you guys do to boost your immune systems and what/if vitamins you take.
