Ok so I was prescribed this medication to help with my depression. I know duh but I just wanted to state that. I took it with food like my doctor suggested and within 2 hours I violently threw up everything that I had eaten. I threw up so hard that I pissed all over myself. I know ew I just wanted to describe how violent the vomiting was. This was my very first dose and it was only 10mg. Has anyone had this kind of reaction? Should I try it again? I want to give it another shot but I don’t really want to vomit and pee on myself again.

Ok so here’s the thing, I have always been into the alternative stuff. Music, clothes, etc. I however do not have any tattoos and do not plan on getting any. I have nothing against them, I love them on other people but I don’t want any. I do have weird colored hair and piercings but I still do not outwardly label myself as alternative because I am not inked like so many other alternative people. I’m afraid of being made fun of or being called a “poser” and wanted to know if I can still use the label “alternative” sorry if this is a silly question I was just curious.

As we all know it’s never lupus but I actually have lupus and when I told my brother he sent me a meme of House saying it’s never lupus. My rheumatologist also has a poster of House in her office. I want to know if there are any people here who have the disease. Were you diagnosed before you started watching the show? Did the show help you to get diagnosed?

Personally I have a family history of lupus so I was very aware and familiar with the disease. I wasn’t diagnosed until I finished watching the serious.

Hello! I adopted a little 5 month old puppy and I am looking for good insurance. I lost my dog a year ago and I had Odi/ManyPets and I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations? Odi kind of sucks and I’m overwhelmed with all the companies out there.

Any advice or recommendations would be very appreciated!

So, let’s talk about the show House. How do you people feel about it? I have mixed feelings since yes it has brought attention to the disease but not exactly the attention that lupus should get. Sometimes when I mention I have it people will ask me if it’s really lupus. Sometimes I laugh but other times it gets annoying. Someone one time asked me if it was a real disease or if it was made up by the show creators. I didn’t get mad because the person seemed to be genuinely confused so I explained to them that yeah, it does actually exist.when I told my brother that I was diagnosed with lupus he sent me a meme of House. Since it’s my brother I laughed and thought that it was funny. What do you guys think?

Ok so I’ve been part of this forum since I was diagnosed about a year ago. I really like this community. I have been given good advice and encouragement. There have been various discussions but I have yet to see one about intimacy and sex.

I am not asking for specific information or details. I was just wondering how this disease has affected you and your partners. Do the symptoms make it hard for you to be physically intimate with your partner? If you have faced challenges how did you deal with them?

I currently do not have a partner but I would like to be with someone in the future. I am afraid that the symptoms that I experience will make that difficult. The joint pain alone makes it hard to move so I can only imagine what it will be like to position myself for the activities. I do enjoy being intimate but I’m afraid of how my lupus will affect it as well as my partner. How did you tell your partner about your lupus? How did you explain that you might not be able to do certain things? How did you deal with the physical challenges?

Again I’m not asking anyone to go into detail about their sex life. I’m just curious because I have yet to read a post about this topic.
