Swollen And Painful Lips That Are Discolored And Bleeding Non Stop After Diagnosed With Lupus
I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2003, as of the past year & a half, I no longer have insurance & can t afford to go to my dr. Or be on the medication....my lips among of things have gotten worse....my lips are swollen, bleeding non-stop, are discolored, ooze, peel, & are so incredibly painful 25 out of 30 days a month & are always worse the week before my menstrual cycle...I have absolutely tried everything over the counter & nothing helps...I am constantly putting neosporin on them cuz it helps a little when the pain is unbearable...I have tried changing my diet & juicing nonstop...I am so miserable & just don t know what to do...every time I try researching maybe a natural remedy, it ends up bringing up that lip bleeding is a sign of lip cancer, as if lupus isn t bad enough!!! I m having an extremely difficult day today...any advice would be greatly appreciated! !! Thank you!! Andrea
