    Hi Chanellie

    Sorry to hear about your lupus, i know from my own experience with RA that the meds can play havok with your weight, especially if they're using steroid based meds to calm it down. Healthy eating and gentle exercises can make a big difference, don't go overdoing things though :)

    Hope it goes well, and that your lupus isn't causing too many problems.

    Hi
    I'm sorry to hear about your Lupus. I know a couple of people ( including my doctor) who have lupus and they have put on weight as well.
    I'm here for support if you ever need it. :)
