    Thank you for this. My GP literally asked me what tests he should do to determine if I have lupus. I have a whole host of symptoms, but the blames all of them on my Hashimoto’s. I’m going to show this to him.

    I was diagnosed with SLE while in my late 40's after complaining of joint/hip pain. I am currently in my early 70's (and a white male, go figure). My PCP referred me to a rheumatologist who, after running more tests, confirmed for a fact that I had Lupus. I was handed an information pamphlet and sent home with no follow-up. I think that the only parting advice from the doctor was "Stay out of the sun." Looking back, I must have had SLE for years due to chronic anemia. I also had been diagnosed with Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome where the anemia exacerbated my SVT episodes. Without proper care from a qualified specialist, things went from bad to worse over the next year. Over a 6-month period, I had 2 myocardial infarctions and 3 DVT episodes. After the second DVT, I had surgery to implant a greenfield filter. After the myocardial infarctions, surgeons performed an angiogram but found no heart damage or obstructions. Every time I had a DVT event, I had to go on disability for up to 6 months and stay off my feet and be on strong pain medications and anti-coagulants. I had also lost over 30 pounds over time. I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with one of my wife's co-workers who had Lupus. She had been fighting the disease for many years. She was under the care of Dr Daniel Wallace and strongly encouraged me to get a referral and an appointment to see him. Dr Wallace did more for good for me in one month than my other doctors did in years. I honestly feel that he saved my life. I recently had my fourth clean PET scan in the last 15 months after a 5-month chemotherapy regiment for treating my stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma. It would be great to meet Dion some time just to swap stories. I am also a former drummer.

    I also don't like the taste of turmeric. I add turmeric to food with other spices and strong flavors that hide the turmeric taste. Examples include lentil soup (eg Turkish or Indian dal), a little in salad dressing with kalamatta olives, and of course foods with Indian or Trinidad spices (eg chana/chole masala, Trinidad channa).

    ANTI DEPRESSANTS? Are you serious? Please educate yourself about the fake mechanisms of SSRIs. Hard pass. Drug pusher. Why are you not advising K2 with D3? Prednisone won’t “cause” Osteo, lack of K2 causes osteo. Sleep study? Omg. You’re not a wellness advocate, you’re a capitalist. CPAP? You’re not even investigating gut biome which causes apnea. STUMBLED UPON INTERMITTENT FASTING???? OHMYEffingGOD. You are just a compilation of topic sentences and headlines. YOU ARE DANGEROUS. The epitome of an AMA doctor who only has partial knowledge. Enjoy your expensive house and cars, while your patients scrape up finds to pay you for 20-30 years.

    This would be a solid video if not for the obvious, grotesque pleasure this guy gets out of humbling a patient he has quite a bit of power over - repeatedly stressing in the video how humbling her turned her from a frowny black woman to a happy smiley black woman and gloating over how she was forced to beg to come back to his practice. Rheumatologists are thin on the ground. Really goes to show how doctors can get away with absolutely repulsive attitudes toward patients.

      Positive ANA is not specific for SLE and Sjorgrens. Usually positive of 1:640 is lowest level to be taken seriously, maybe 1:320 titre. The diagnosis is a legal statement, it must follow those criteria.

    Hello I'm a 65-year-old male been in chronic pain for a very long time, many years. From joint pain to neck back shoulders chest and more. Because I told them I was in chronic pain they label me a drug seeker . I could get no help from anybody for years and have suffered greatly. Last week I went to the hospital twice. The first time for breathing and chest pain. That's when they found out I basically need a heart transplant have everything you're talking about with my heart the second visit to the hospital same week had a stroke. My primary doctor sent me for Lupus test on the 8th yesterday. I've had an autoimmune disease for a while they just didn't know what it was for years. I'm just wondering if there's any hope for me at all now that im sure blood tests will come back Lupus all these years

    Question regarding, "lupus burning it self out with menopause". I went through menopause over 10 years ago & I'm just now looking at a possible Lupus diagnosis. After a month of waiting for a Rheumatologist appointment, I see him tomorrow for the 1st time. My cardiologist actually believes I have lupus & referred me to a Rheumatologist. My labs & symptoms are all pointing at Lupus. Fingers crossed that it's my Raynauds & hi bp/cholesterol meds causing all the havoc on my system. So...is it possible to still get Lupus after 10+ years of menopause?

    • @flea10x6
      @flea10x6 11 днів тому

      SLE is more frequently seen/dx as premenopausal women (20-34yo I believe. But can be dx at any time. I was diagnosed @65 after a non dominant basal ganglia hemorrhage with minimal sequelae due to successful thrombolytic therapy with an external ventricular drain. Rheumatoid arthritis became "obvious to the most casual observer with "sudden" severe ulnar deviation which makes digit use difficult to impossible. I'm still trying to figure out what is my lupus - other than 1:1280 double stranded DNA, as well as anti chromatin with leukopenia with mild chronic anemia, alopecia, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia (The bleed is likely due to amyloid microangiopathy from the ANA/RF and CCP levels). I believe the comment re menopause is that often, those diagnosed when much younger have fewer issues/flares with the decreased estrogen associated with menopause.
