Hi! Sreb92, I was in remission when I was pregnant, I was so happy about having her since I tried for 9 years. So for my time I felt wonderful. what a blessing that was. Now 50 years later I am stage 3B and I can barely move and feel terrible! I am doing everything right but still feeling bad. That little baby girl I had, she is a head Nurse at Sarasota memorial. She gets checked for lupus but so far no positive tests.

Hi Sreb92, sorry for delayed response. I just completed 9 months of prednisone, so got the approval to get pregnant! Aug 1994, she came May 1995, natural birth, without a SLE trace. She works as Facilities Coordinator for Govt. Four years later, our second child born 1999. He also has no trace of SLE, natural birth without SLE trace. Yet recently 3 years ago suffers from ecezma (he went vegan.. I believe it caused skin discoloration). He missed certain key vitamins. He is a Mechanical Engineer. Now for me looks like kidney scar causing irriation so will require a biospy in October or November.
