This is such a great #lupus100 question that many patients have.
Getting to know your #lupus is key to have the answer, although all of us encounter situations in which we are not sure. In case of doubt, remember to always consult your physician and never self-medicate!
@LupusEurope @ern_reconnet I remember asking, if I'm going to feel bad pretty much all the time, how will I ever know that I'm sick/ill with another ailment, vs my symptoms just being Lupus?
Still not sure I have an answer for that and Lupus has lived with me almost 10 years now...🤔
-What to expect from treatment/disease
-What exactly our treatments do
-How to recognize/document symptoms
-What we can do in between visits
This should be an ongoing convo and not just one time, especially when we're overwhelmed from just having been diagnosed. #Lupus100 https://twitter.com/LupusEurope/status/1573024815681884163
