My Tibetan acupuncturist has very lovingly obtained a herbal medicine for lupus for me from overseas. The second-last ingredient is a seed. Do I take it? I'm on day 100 of elimination. I'm putting off reintroduction because I'm tapering my steroid. Thanks!
I'm 99 days into elimination. I have lupus. I accidentally consumed dairy about 2 months in and had a severe reaction. Also, I discovered that a few supplements I've consumed during this period have contained small amounts of seed oils.
My fatigue and joint pain are better. Neuropathy, dizziness, and double vision are better. I'm able to work out at the gym again, which is huge!!! But I've developed breathlessness and chest pain during this time. My chest CT scan is normal. Also my cholesterol has worsened.
I'm confused about whether it's time to reintroduce. I'm in the process of tapering my steroid, so I don't know if this is the ideal time. I started going to the gym only three days ago. And it's going well so far. And, the chest pain and another muscular pain on the left side of my upper body are bothering me.
