Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Several people in the discussion have shared their experiences with frequent low-grade fevers or feeling feverish without an actual increase in body temperature. Some individuals mentioned that they have conditions like IBS, SIBO, **Lupus**, and fibromyalgia, which might be related to their symptoms. However, none of them specifically mentioned having a fever of unknown origin (FUO).

It took me a while to figure it out I've been having joint issues for going on for 12+ years. I was told i had fluid behind my knee caps then runners knee. Then finally earlier this year I had the opportunity to get a bunch of blood work done that ruled out, RA,**lupus**, etc. The NP I was seeing wanted me back so we looked at a few more things before she officially diagnosed me.

"Yes, **lupus** got easier for me, but it took some time. When you’ll know which medication works the best for you, and what you should and shouldn’t eat, things will start going the right way." Another person shared, "Physically for me, it did. When I first was diagnosed I couldn’t walk, constantly cold and hot at the same time, lost my appetite completely, my lowest weight was 84 lbs, hair was shading off, skin was damaged. But now it’s been a year and now I can say with the help of some of my medicine, my hair grew back but it’s still fragile, my skin got a bit better but there seems to be permanent discoloration, I can walk and I even have a physical job now, and I’ve gained my natural body weight back."
