, oh, goodness. I am so sorry you have been feeling ill and dealing with upper respiratory issues for two weeks now. I assume since nothing showed up in your bloodwork that your respiratory issues are not an infection?
I do hope you start feeling better very, very soon. But, if you don't start feeling better or start feeling worse, don't hesitate to let your doctor know asap. As you may know, Lupus can increase one's chances of dealing with respiratory issues -- https://lupus.net/respiratory. And, you know your body best; if you think something is wrong and not being addressed, you may very well be right!
As far as helping your body heal, well, getting plenty of rest and fluids and good, healthy food can help, but I bet you already know all that!
Best, Erin, Team Member.,
I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing.
I hope you've found a bit of relief by now.
As Erin mentioned, if your symptoms haven't eased up yet please consider checking in with your healthcare provider.

"Hello i had sent up on the Sinus ,Headaches Forum
But I m taking antibiotics and slowly it s alleviating
Any of the instructors or Facilitators.??????
If my blood is low wouldn't sinus infection come into play because of low blood?
I see hematologist Thursday coming!And w iron pills I will know if it increased.Praying for increase. Went to Primary days ago I didn't think to ask her wouldn't low blood have an effect on Sinuses.Please answer upon this question.Thank you in advance. Blessings 🙌 All whom on this community platform.",
I'm glad to hear the sinus infection is improving.
Although we are not medical professionals (as your doctor would be best to answer questions pertaining to your blood count), generally speaking a low blood count can increase the risk of developing infections.
Hopefully your upcoming hematologist appointment can address these concerns.
Many in this community find it helpful to jot down any and all questions/concerns or changes that come to mind prior to your appointment and bring this with you to discuss with your healthcare provider.
All my best, Doreen (Team Member)Thank you so much for posting,originally I m suppose to see Hematologist this week but had to push the appointment back to next week.Taking iron medication in morning and antibiotic almost done.Long during to heal from this Sinus Infection
And I m sure I will.
Thanks again,And I ll stay abreast with this wonderful Lupus.net 💜 Praying for invisible 🙏 @
I hope this finds you doing a bit better.
How is the sinus infection?
Please keep us updated on how things are going as well as your upcoming appointment.
We'll be keeping you in our thoughts.

PRAYING UP Warriors 💜"
Hi,
! I hope you can get that prescription filled very soon and that the iron helps. My husband has to take supplemental iron and it has really helped him, overall. He experienced some digestive side effects, but those went away as his body adjusted to the supplement. You may already know about potential side effects of iron supplements, but I wanted to share this information, just in case -- https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/14568-iron-oral-supplements-for-anemia. Hang in there and keep us posted on how things are going, if you feel comfortable doing so!
Best, Erin, Team Member.I did receive my iron medication and I m sure it will increase low levels of blood .
And next week my hematologist should be in from vacation. HE IS THE BEST!Thank you for sending information about Iron Supplement.Keep you and All informed.Prayers Thru to me and All the Lupus Warriors on this platform.Never a time that I don t call out On Our Lord n Saviour to meet our needs of healing in Our Lupus.
Blessings 🙌,
We're glad to hear you got your iron medication.
Hopefully you can follow up with the hematologist in the days to come.
Please keep us updated.
