sle - #19532
Two years ago, I started getting random joint pain and extreme fatigue. Some days, I felt fine, but other days it was like my body was shutting down. My hands would swell up, and I’d get these weird rashes on my face, especially when I spent time in the sun. At first, I thought it was just allergies or maybe stress, but it kept getting worse. Then, last year, after tons of tests, the doctors finally diagnosed me with SLE. They put me on steroids and immunosuppressants, saying it would help control the flare-ups. And yes, it did help a bit, but I feel like my body is getting weaker. The meds come with their own side effects – constant bloating, mood swings, and even some hair fall. Plus, my digestion has become really bad since I started these medicines. I feel like my body is stuck in a cycle where I have to take these drugs just to function, but they’re also slowly making me feel worse in other ways. I recently started reading about Ayurveda and how it can help with auto-immune diseases like SLE. I’m really interested in whether there are natural ways to manage this condition, reduce the inflammation, and maybe even slowly reduce my dependency on these heavy medications. I know that SLE is a lifelong condition, but I just want a way to feel stronger and more in control of my body instead of constantly worrying about the next flare-up. Are there Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that specifically help with SLE symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, and skin rashes? Would Panchakarma therapy be useful in detoxifying my system and strengthening my immunity? Also, are there dietary changes that might help with reducing inflammation naturally? The doctors keep telling me to avoid sun exposure, but are there any Ayurvedic oils or external applications that could protect my skin better? I really want to know if anyone with SLE has tried Ayurveda and found relief. What worked best? How long does it take to see changes, and is it possible to eventually reduce medications through Ayurvedic treatment? Any insights would be really helpful.
