having these bad headach in the back of my head its like real stuff and now having hot flashes wat can i do
Hi Andre,
The headaches come bad with Lupus alot of members do have them so bad as they turn out to be bad migranes...and i get the hot flashes/flushes like yourself and other member's...i don't sweat just burn up inside, i mainly push through them or if they're to bad get outside for air....you could always help yourself also with ice pack bandana, as a member told me to do this.

I get the hot flashes as well. The first time I noticed it, I didn't sweat either just felt it above my neck. Someone told me my blood pressure was up, but what did they know? I have headaches mostly a dull ache nothing intense though. I just deal with it. Andre, I'm not sure what your feelings are about chiropractors, but that might help. Ice packs would help the pain as well, that's a good idea.
I'm not sure about anyone else, but I have a terrible time keeping comfortable at all. I'm hot, then I'm cold. It's never comfortable. I get chills sometimes at work when its hot out, like when I walk in front of a fan. This is just crazy to me, but its something I have to get adjusted to.
Hope something I've said helps. At least you know others are going through the same things as you are, you are never alone.

thank u guys soo much I’m just having a bad time right now I have a wife and 3kids and i just have know energy to do anything I’m not eating that much and loseing wight so I’m really trying to stay strong with all of this some time I ask God y me but everything happen for a reason
Andre,
I'm sorry you're having a bad time, I understand its not easy. Try to eat small snacks or something if you're not having an appetite. Water is important too. If you're dehydrated, it is fatiguing as well. Take small steps, and concentrate on one day at a time right now. I'll keep you in my prayers

Hi Andre…I get a lots of headaches and what u do its take a cold shower cut on the air and laid down if the pain its to strong I. Take a Vicodin… I also have a hubby and two kids and I know what you mean… but don’t worry you will be fine …I will keep you on my prayers …
Hello Andre,
I am sorry to hear your having a bad time and trying to keep going stronger for 3 kids alone is alot...especially if you feel the need strong for rest.
Is worry causing you not to eat Andre or is your appetite just very low because this and losing weight won't help you, as i've found this out alot plus watch yourself also for bad dehydration.
Andre i've asked the same question many a time...why me and everything does happen for a reason...Lupus itself is one mental test.
Takecare Terri
