Extractions: To a Friend July-August 2005 Issue By Michelle Meadows Arletha Manlove, 41, of Kansas City, Mo., first noticed feeling different after having her first child. She experienced unusual fatigue, but thought maybe it was the adjustment of taking care of a new baby. Everything was a struggle, she says. "It was a chore to take a shower and a chore to get dressed." She also had unexplained fevers, recurrent upper respiratory infections, and swelling and aching in her hands. "I would wake up in the morning with swollen fingers, and by the time I got dressed, the swelling would go down." She had six miscarriages in five years and repeated bouts of uterine pain. "I had been to gynecologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and general practitioners," she says. "I started to think maybe they were right; maybe it was all in my head." After a devastating miscarriage in the second trimester of pregnancy, Manlove's uterine pain became even worse and her other symptoms continued. At her mother's urging, she agreed to try one more doctor, a fertility specialist. He diagnosed her with both endometriosis and lupus in 1990 and referred her to a rheumatologist, a doctor who has additional training in diagnosing and treating arthritis and other diseases of the joints, muscles, and bones.

Home Public Center Patients with lupus erythematosus (LE) often have skin signs and develop many different types of lesions. LE skin diseases are divided into two broad categories: those skin lesions that occur only in people with LE, known as LE-specific skin lesions, and those skin lesions that can occur in people with LE, but can also occur in other diseases (LE-non-specific skin lesions). There are three broad categories of LE-specific skin lesions: chronic cutaneous LE (CCLE), or diseases limited to the skin, subacute cutaneous LE (SCLE), and acute cutaneous LE (ACLE). The most common lesion in CCLE is known as discoid LE; however, discoid skin lesions may appear in a patient with any type of LE. What is the relationship between systemic LE (SLE) and chronic cutaneous (CCLE)?

Extractions: National Institutes of Health National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Symptoms of Lupus Each person with lupus has slightly different symptoms that can range from mild to severe and may come and go over time. However, some of the most common symptoms of lupus include painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, and extreme fatigue. A characteristic red skin rash-the so-called butterfly or malar rash-may appear across the nose and cheeks. Rashes may also occur on the face and ears, upper arms, shoulders, chest, and hands. Because many people with lupus are sensitive to sunlight (called photosensitivity), skin rashes often first develop or worsen after sun exposure. Common Symptoms of Lupus Other symptoms of lupus include chest pain, hair loss, anemia (a decrease in red blood cells), mouth ulcers, and pale or purple fingers and toes from cold and stress. Some people also experience headaches, dizziness, depression, confusion, or seizures. New symptoms may continue to appear years after the initial diagnosis, and different symptoms can occur at different times. In some people with lupus, only one system of the body, such as the skin or joints, is affected. Other people experience symptoms in many parts of their body. Just how seriously a body system is affected varies from person to person. The following systems in the body also can be affected by lupus.

http://www.aocd.org/skin/dermatologic_diseases/discoid_lupus_eryt.html

Extractions: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a chronic skin condition of sores with inflammation and scarring favoring the face, ears, and scalp and at times on other body areas. These lesions develop as a red, inflamed patch with a scaling and crusty appearance. The center areas may appear lighter in color with a rim darker than the normal skin. When lesions occur in hairy areas such as the beard or scalp, permanent scarring and hair loss can occur. A small percentage of patients with discoid lupus can develop disease of the internal organs, which can make the person sick. Children and people with many spots are usually at more risk of this. If a doctor suspects this condition, a skin biopsy needs to be done to confirm the diagnosis because other conditions can look like discoid lupus erythematosus. If the skin biopsy shows discoid lupus erythematosus, then further blood testing may be indicated. The exact cause is unknown, but it is thought to be autoimmune with the body's immune system incorrectly attacking normal skin. This condition tends to run in families. Females outnumber males with this condition 3 to 1. In some patients with discoid lupus erythematosus, sunlight and cigarette smoking may make the lesions come out. Cortisone ointment applied to the skin in the involved areas will often improve the lesions and slow down their progression. Cortisone injections into the lesions will also treat discoid lupus and usually are more effective than the ointment form of cortisone. Alternatively, calcineurin inhibitors, pimecrolimus cream or tacrolimus ointment may be used. Imiquimod has also been reported to be helpful in a few patients. If the lesions are becoming unsightly and one really feel something more needs to be done, a drug named Plaquenil will often improve the condition. Patients on Plaquenil need eye exams once a year to prevent damage to the retina of the eye and periodic blood work. Closely related drugs (Aralen, Quinacrine) may be more effective but have more side effects. Other drugs, such as Accutane and Soriatane, can also be used.

Extractions: Researchers at the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health (NIH) have launched a five- year study to see whether a therapy using transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells, blood stem cells found in bone marrow, can produce long-term remission for patients with severe, treatment-resistant systemic lupus erythematosus (or lupus), a rheumatic autoimmune disease that can affect the body's major organs.
