I have Sjongren syndrome besides lupus...( I couldn't just get lupus!) Sjongren dries up your body so I have dry eyes and mouth, just eating chicken without a glass of water is hard and sometimes dangerous. I am 55 years old so I managed hot flushes just by cutting down on sweets and alcohol. But now is affecting the intimacy with my husband.
God know this poor guy has already put up with a lot. One doctor gave me hormones but I thought they are dangerous when you have lupus. I am the type to go for the natural approach rather than taking medicines that can give side effects. like i need more symptoms to fight against!! I would love to hear any advice.
