		<description>For the one with a daughter with lupus, she is not alone. I have both SLE and fibromyalgia.   I have been suffering from SLE for over 15 years and I can tell you it&#039;s not easy.  She will probably develop a butterfly rash on her face and may lose some hair.  If you would like more information on lupus just go to the lupus website.  Currently there is no cause or cure.  You just need to remain strong for her and pray.  Make sure to be patient with her.  If she would like a friend I&#039;m here for her.  At the lupus walk you will be able to meet a lot people just like your daughter; and there you will be able to understand more about lupus. May God bless you.</description>

		<description>Personally, after my experience two weeks ago when I ended up dropping prednisone for four days, I understand why someone would be an extreme drug addict.  I understood too well what prednisone was masking.  I had excruciating pain, extreme fatigue and yes, if I were the type who wanted to overcome the effects of dropping this drug I too would have looked for Demerol (or any pain med) and uppers (50 bottles of Coke or 50 cups of coffee) and a downer before going to bed.  That would have been my way of self medicating.  

As for coming out with lupus, many will not fearing repercussions or discrimination.  It&#039;s okay and accepted if your are a bit eccentric (part of being an artist), a drug addict (part of being an artist), or flamboyant (part of being an artist) but not diseased.  Handlers might have warned against talking about his disease at length fearing underwriters will not take on your concerts fearing you will not complete them.  I&#039;ve had physicals all of my life and no one ever saw lupus until my kidneys failed.</description>

		<description>My daughter who is 18 years old haves lupus. Lupus is a serious disease that doesn&#039;t get attention like cancer. Oh why michael jackson did you not come out that you have lupus, that would have spread lupus awareness. MY opinion is that I think Michael jackson had SLE (LUPUS). They played a song that was not yet released  by Michael jacksonthat was named demerol, demerol was under pain medication for lupus when I was trying to find something to help my daughter. With SLE your under major joint and muscle pain, I see my daughter. Remember with discoid lupus your not under any pain just attacks you skin that&#039;s a mild type of lupus. So anyway he had a song called demerol, this is a good pain medicine for lupus but with major side effects if you take to much and in some people it can cause cardic arrest. Michael jackson had so many symptoms of Sle (LUPUS), He wore a wig, with lupus your hair falls out sometimes, please don&#039;t tell me that pepsi commercial burn I know that but he had lupus  and the mask he didn&#039;twant to catch germs with the medicines your immune system is supressed. and so many more that points to sle. I just wished he would have not taken alot of the medicines that have a lot of side effects. Have you thought about why he couldn&#039;t sleep and why did he have a cocktail of so many pain medicines because he had lupus  SLE and so did anna nicole smith In my opinion I could be wrong I think they did.</description>

		<description>the reason micheal jackson died is jumping off the page here.the flomax usage and its underlying problems of racing heart,inability to sleep whilst taking flomax.he then reached the plateau of all the sleep inducing drugs and eventually was able to get anathethic injections used before operations.sometimes you need to just put up with pain and discomfort of enlarged prostate but as micheal could get any drug he wished that was his downfall.sometimes the easiest and simplest explanation of a death is correct but as its not sensationalist the media wont explain it like this.</description>

		<description>&quot;When you have a disease that really doesn’t make you look sick on the outside, people do label us complainers and whiners. For a man who performed constantly and flawlessly, I cannot begin to imagine the pain he must have been in.&quot;

THANK YOU, ANITA!

I am in the same boat.  I have Sickle Cell Disease &amp; I look very healthy.  But because of this, I too, get the same treatment-- &quot;You are a whiner, a complainer, a faker, a wanter of attention.&quot;.  I KNEW something was up w/ this man!  I knew it!  I just could never put my finger on it.  Now, I know that like his song, &quot;You Are Not Alone&quot;, because he was going thru the same thing as me.  My poor Michael.</description>
