Hi Clare and thanks so much for your reply! I have to say, in reading all the posts here that you are all such a peaceful and friendly bunch!!
You really hit the nail on the head when you said that doctors advocate the creams and UV avoidance, as opposed to prescribing antimalarials. My problem seems to be that my rheumatologist says I dont have lupus, but my dermatologist says I do. I'm not quite sure who to believe, especially since my symptoms have been getting steadily worse. I have become so sensitive to light that if I am in a room with flourescent bulbs for too long, I break out in a rash! But I'm sure this is all part of the process and will deal with it the best I can.
Again, thanks for your input, it really helped me feel less alone!
Take care,
Sharon
