What Are The Symptoms Of Lupus?

diagnosed with uctd a few years ago (lupus type symptoms) - control it naturally w/out meds. have an underlying hsv 1 infection that emerges every so often in form of CHRONIC cold sores all over mouth (been on and off for over a decade and have lasted for months, at times) - female hormones seem to play a major roll in the emergence. I suspect a hormone intolerance. ANYWAY :) i'm presently treating myself for a mouth outbreak and have incorporated RED MARINE ALGAE. Impressed with it's anti-viral properties, but not sure it's good for the UCTD, being such an immune stimulant. Also it says it contains a sulfated polysaccharide (sulfur?) which i've learned isn't good for lupus or other autoimmune issues. Been on the Red Marine for almost a week, but thinking i'm going to stop. Any feedback would be appreciated....thank you
