I hadn't posted in a little while because my stepmom just passed away. My dad died a little more than 2 months ago also(my real mom passed away when I was 15years old). Well suffice it to say that I realize that stress DOES play a part in my Lupus symptoms. I had been going along just fine, feeling pretty darn good, then my mom passed away and all the staying out late with relatives, the restaurants(even though I didn't eat anything at them), the funeral, wake and burial did cause me to have worse symptoms again. I experienced severe migraine headaches, shoulder pain, neck and shoulder joint pain just as if I had eaten something that I was allergic to.
I kept my diet exactly the same so I wouldn't throw anything off...
I had my husband bring my daughter to camp today so I could relax and sleep in a bit and I am starting to feel better.
What has had me feeling so positive is that, if by accident I feel a little off and ate something that doesn't agree with me, I would just eat veggies/salads and drink water and /or homemade veggie/fruit juices and feel better within a half of a day(about 4-5 hours) my system would clear out the "undesireable food" and the joint pain and /or headache would begin lifting.
It didn't work this time under stress! GRRRRR! Well we live and learn.
Diet and lifestyle changes to help calm your Lupus symptoms or even begin healing your body from the inside out.
