    The purple spots, fatigue and pain are all symtoms of lupus, which you have.

    If you have low income, you may qualify for government medical care. Call your member of congress and question about help.

    Too terrible the USA is the only developed country on Earth that does not have universal, government paid health care. In any other country you would be receiving treatment without any cost to you.

    I am sorry to hear of the pain you are experiencing. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and I know the pain. Did the Celebrex help you at all? If so, since that is a NSAID, you might want to consider taking Aleve if this is something you can take.

    If you are not able to work and can not afford insurance, have you considered looking at Medicaid? I don’t know if you qualify, but it is worth checking in to.

    Also, if there are meds that you have taken that work, but you can’t afford, talk to your MD to see if he will help you in being paid help from the drug companies. Most of them will help people who are not able to afford their meds but need them.

    I hope this helps. Excellent luck to you!

    I’m not sure of how much of that you have and how much is a cop out for not knowing any better. I am taking it that you are having knee pains from what you wrote. Here is how to get rid of that:
    Kneecap: (Use a chair that has no cross members on it.)
    While sitting start with your leg out in front of you extended out to a comfortable length. Wrap your hands around it so you have a excellent two inches working area. Place your thumbs about two inches behind your knee and press into the top middle of your leg hard and hold. Relax. After 30 seconds, slowly slide that leg back until it is pulled up under the chair as far as you can make it go. Then release the pressure but hold your leg there for one small longer.
    Then you are having back pain, here’s for that:
    Back:
    Place your left hand on your left knee. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don’t tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg or even over it if you can, the more over the better it is. Take up again holding for a total of one small. Then release but rest your body there for one small longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
    From there I am lost to whatever the problems might be. If I missed any of them contact me with information.

    I don’t know your diagnosis of ‘minor Lupus’. You any have Lupus or you do not. If you have been diagnosed with Lupus then you are eligible for state helped insurance plans. If you are having problems with urination then your Lupus may have progressed into Lupus Nephritis. This is something you need to have checked out as the inflamation in your kidneys could cause permanent hurt if left untreated.
