Psoriasis Lupus
Anyone diagnosed with lupus, ms, RA, osteoarthritis, Bursitis?
My mom was diagnosed with all of them including another type of arthritis associated with her psoriasis. Shes in the middle of a severe flare up from her RA and her whole right side is swollen and very painful. she cannot even drive, I (her daughter) just took her to the ER the other night b/c it did get so bad. The doctors pretty much keep telling her theres nothing that really can be done between her arthritis's and her 2 auto-immune diseases. I was just wondering if anyone who has been diagnosed with any of them/ or all of them how they handled it and what they did to help control it. Ive been on the internet for hours trying to search for some stuff and did find some things that help with RA. thank you for anyone who has taken the time to read and answer this.
She should probably be tested for celiac disease as well. It's an autoimmune disease caused by eating gluten. People with multiple autoimmune diseases usually have celiac disease. But the good news is, that celiac disease is caused by eating gluten, so the cure (yes cure, which is rare in the world of autoimmune diseases) is eating a gluten free diet. If she has this along with the other ones, some of her symptoms could be caused by the celiac and so treating it will help her symptoms to go away. Do a google search for each of those conditions + celiac disease and you will find a multitude of people who have both. One theory is that having celiac disease causes you to have other autoimmune diseases. Others feel that there's no causal link, but they just sort of occur together because if you're prone to one autoimmune disease, you're likely to have another. Definitely look into it, she might really get some relief from her symptoms.

The Benefits of Microdermabrasion
It’s been called the “instant facelift”. Patients love it because it’s less costly and less invasive than traditional facelift procedures. Microdermabrasion can buff away your rough skin revealing a new youthful you.
This skin-refreshing technique has become a popular procedure for the following body parts:
· Face
· Chest
· Neck
· Arms
· Hands
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Patients who already have good skin tone show the best results. Microdermabrasion has been found to increase the production of collagen and new skin cells promoting a longer youthful appearance. Here are some other benefits:
· Reduces fine lines, crow’s feet and age spots
· Cleans out clogged pores
· Good alternative for acne patients who are sensitive to Retin-A
· Effective on all skin colors and types
· Reveals a fresh, healthy glow of the skin
· Safe and effective requiring no surgery
· Heals quickly
The Microdermabrasion Procedure
A skilled technician or dermatologist takes 30 to 60 minutes completing the procedure in one session. A special tool shoots crystals of sodium chloride and aluminum oxide into the problem area, gently polishing the surface of the skin. A vacuum removes both the used crystals and damaged skin cells simultaneously. The procedure takes about three passes to raise and remove impurities from the skin.
MIcrodermabrasion affects only the upper skin layer or epidermis without permeating the next layer of skin - the dermis. After the treatment is completed, patients apply special lotions and creams to rehydrate the affected areas promoting younger, healthier skin.
Microdermabrasion Risks
As with any procedure, there are risks involved. It’s important to consult with an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon before pursuing the procedure. Ask your friends who have had a microdermabrasion to recommend the best doctor for you. The possible risks of microdermabrasion include the following:
· Bruising especially around the lips
· Skin discoloration
· Blemishes
· Eyelids should never be treated with microdermabrasion
Poor Candidate for Microdermabrasion
Your doctor will advise you not to pursue microdermabrasion if you have the following conditions:
· Widespread acne
· Warts, open sores, fragile capillaries
· Rosacea, vascular lesions
· Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis
· Lupus, erythematosus, or diabetes mellitus
