    Not Lupus, but I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 19 (coming up for 20) years - since I was 5. Some of the symptoms are very similar, I believe.

    Mostly I eat lean protein and fruit/vegetables. I do a lot of exercise, myself, but I built up to that. I guess because I've been in constant pain since before I knew how to describe 'constant pain' it... just doesn't bother my any more and is totally normal. (Which is not to say I never get flare-ups that make me curse everything in the universe and lay me out for several days. I do. I just stopped using 'my ankles/knees/hips/back/shoulders ache I'm not gonna exercise today' as a personal excuse not to do anything years ago)

    These days I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 3x a week, run 3-4x a week (total 10-15miles) and, when I'm at uni, walk about 15 miles a week as well.
