I would definitely let the doctor know how much they hurt...and see if they have any recommendations. Could be a sign of something else that can be controlled via therapy, or even medication. I know that when the nodules on the bottoms of my feet hurt (different than what you're describing, but still painful), it hurts to take even a few steps. Tennis shoes are the most comfortable for sure - and I like to soak my feet in warm water. My girls often volunteer to give my feet a "spa day" when they're hurting. It feels so good! But do check with the doctor on all of the above - just to make sure.

I've been at the chronic thing for 13 years now, and I STILL have to do a check and balance on guilt once in awhile. So hard to ignore those feelings! Re: hair - sorry to hear you're having a tough time. I've written so much on my blog re: hair loss, including tips that I've used, as well as others have offered up, I'd try two posts - "Lupus Hair loss" and "lupus Lockdown". (just do a search on my blog.) If you've read those, as well as the other "hair loss" posts, but you're still looking for more specifics, shoot me an email. I know how devastating and frustrating hair loss can be! sara@despitelupus.comSara Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608238591846611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-79394754917412056312014-01-21T11:14:45.719-05:002014-01-21T11:14:45.719-05:00Thanks for the wonderful post.

I was rushing around the house, chasing our two kids, cleaning, and trying to prep salad and biscuits for dinner. My husband told me to lay down, covered me with a blanket and said he would wake me up soon. He ordered the biscuits from a bakery and watched the kids so I could prep the salad. Sometimes you just need to be selfish and take that nap. :-)Randi's lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848703830327911500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-49804469228763163702014-01-20T13:31:56.100-05:002014-01-20T13:31:56.100-05:00Hi Sara,

This latest post of yours really helped because I have a lot of guilt because I can't do or be who I used to be. I have a lot of stress in my life and I know it's not good. I'm having severe hair issues, due to everything I think and also hormonal. What suggestions can you give me? On hair particularly since it's at its worst :( vitamins? Which ones? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you, KelliKellinoreply@blogger.com
