Some environmental factors can set off the condition or trigger a flare-up. Among the common triggers there are:

- ultraviolet rays from the sun;

- emotional stress;

- physical stress (injury, surgery, pregnancy);

- an infection, etc.

Are you aware of what has set off lupus in your case?

How did it happen?

Not sure cause before being diagnosed I had already been suffering with some health issues, but I think it's emotional stress that triggered the first flare up..family problems, financial problems....

I had a hip replacement 16 months ago due to osteoarthritis. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made. Yes I was not looking forward to everything post op, but I am now 100% mobile and after not being able to walk any distances I now enjoy walking again and I've managed to lose 2.5 stones. Totally pain free and I've had lots of comments about how much happier I look - my face was obviously showing my pain. If you have any questions please ask!
