hello, I have got your question.you have said about your diagnosis in the past.I donot know wheather you have taken any treatment for that or not.SLE is a connective tissue disease which involves multi organs including bones and joints.so an early treatment is very much necessary to check the progress of the disease.and you have told also about arthritis and fibromyelgia.so those have to be taken care of.so 1st consult with your doctor and take the advice.because early treatment is very necessary.you have to check some important blood parametres and radiological investigations of thorax,abdomen and joints to understand the actual position of the body parts involved.dont feel panic.because continuous check up has a positive effect on the disease.
thank you.
