ANA positive for Lupus

I have had lupus for over 25 years. It is mostly of the skin variety, and that means no sun, but it also affects my gut and makes me tired (and more). The tiredness has gone away with a Methylfolate supplement. It is crazy that it helps so much, but there is information out there that it can help.

Just getting rid of the fatigue would be great, no?

Note that the brand I take is Biotics Research Methylfolate Plus. I cut the pill into eighths (I have a great pill cutter) and it is not a mega dose. Check with your doctor to see if you can take it. I also take a B12 supplement as my gut doesn't like meat or fish anymore (and most other foods, but I have figured that one out) and I think it helps the Methylfolate work. Like Warner68 says, if you can figure out some accomodations for your condition, things can improve. Just Google the heck out of the topic and see what makes sense to try. Good luck!

You have given me hope!!! That’s what I needed to hear. Thank you for reaching out to me I needed it.

My wife has been diagnosed with lupus and Sjögren's Syndrome for about two years now. Her body pain and tiredness keep her bedbound most of the time during the flare-ups. The inside of her mouth also inflames. This makes eating solid food difficult. Protein shakes sustain her and help maintain her immune system during these times. However, everything has its trade-offs. The high protein causes her constipation. I am hoping that adding this Biotics Research Methylfolate Plus and a B12 supplement will provide added relief. We will contact her rheumatologist.
