Thanks for your time. My daughter has had lupus from age 12 and is now 20.
We have gone through quite a few different treatments and have had great success.
Currently she is going through a year of flares.
She plays volleyball on a University team, they look like they will qualify for the NCAA tournament. She is a starter for her team, something she has had to worked hard for this past year.
She could not play last year because of a left leg shin fracture. I think it was because she was on prednisone and it weakened her bones. It took her a long time to heal last year. Now she is playing a lot and has started to develop a shin fracture on her right leg. Very painful! She has again started to flare. She had a hard time getting out of bed one day this week. I took her to the doctor and they are starting her on a higher dose of prednisone plus methotrexate and folic acid. She was on cellcept for about 3 year. She also did 4 treatment (one series) of retuxinab (?). I want her to be done with volleyball but she is a determined young lady who loves to play.
My question is about the article connecting liver fluke and Lupus. Is this something I should research?
Another thought I have had is when she was 5 she got a very bad case of Mono, could this be a possible reason she has lupus?
I would appreciate any thoughts for an alternative and/or conventional cure. If I can be so bold to ask for one.
