Allergies and lupus

I’ve noticed the longer I go with lupus I now have what I think is allergies. Itchy watery eyes, runny nose. No sneezing. I never had allergies before. Ugh! Just one more thing. Anybody else? And also new is an ulcer in my mouth.

    We appreciate you sharing (and love your name).
    Lupus is not only unpredictable; it also seems ever-changing and constantly demands your body's energy and attention.
    Unfortunately, eye issues are quite common in lupus. Some of these issues can be complications of lupus itself, while others may be drug (treatment) induced. You may find this article helpful: https://lupus.net/eyes
    In addition, mouth sores/mouth ulcers can also be quite bothersome (and painful). I'm sorry you are dealing with these as well. I'm including this additional article that you may find interesting: https://lupus.net/symptoms/ulcers
    I hope you find some relief soon.
    All my best, Doreen (Team Member)
