Hello @mourad, and welcome to Connect.
I'm so sorry that you have Lupus, but we are glad that you have come here to find some answers.
I'm going to tag @tbeckys, @WendyAnne, @kdubois, @paulamiddleton, @kelly2000, @helloshelly7969, @petersen73, @sebley12, @nanke99, and @soitis4590; I am sure that they will be able to give you more information.
I would also encourage you to read this information from Mayo Clinic about Lupus: http://mayocl.in/1o2QJkY
@mourad, can you tell us a bit more about your symptoms? Have you asked your doctors about having beer or wine?
I put my question in Mayo Clinic Facebook ...
they gave me your site
Sorry my English is not good enough …
I need time to translate to English …
Thank you ...
@mourad, no need to apologize for your English! You have communicated your question very well; I do hope that other members will be able to give you more information.
I didn't drink while I had drug-induced lupus, but I can only imagine that it would have made me feel more horrible than I already felt. I'm not sure how it interacts with lupus medications.
I learned from Mayo that alcohol can be improperly-metabolized by the human body due to genetic issues. A symptom is if you get rosy cheeks after you drink it. If this happens to you like it does me, you may want to avoid it.
thank you ...
I am having to avoid alcohol altogether. I have yeast invasive and lung lesion ad well as lupus/ra and psoriatic arthritis. Right before my lupus diagnosed i drank one wine spritzer causing red face and blood pressure to go high. But worse was the mouth burning and two wks to get over it. My doctor gave me antfungal in hopes i can have an occasiobal as only did anyway but now just avoid it.
