Can try sunway medical or UM.

Try use coconut oil. Or when bath use organic or dun use Any soap or shampoo for while. Just use water

Please, please quickly go see any rheumatologist, the itchiness is a symptom, treat the underlying reasons first, before it spreads to internal organs.

The one at Tawakkal Hospital is good. The doc may suggest a round of treatment with some fairly strong intravenous drugs to "knock down" the over-active immune system.

oh....@babybb do not simply give your mum eat medicine ya. One medicine good for this patient does not mean is can be taken by your mum. SLE everyone is different so better seek medication from doctor.

Yes pls go see Rheumatologist first to confirm whether she has SLE. Then can change to UM for cheaper and the doctor also quite good.

Can I know the organic shop name? and where to get it? Sunway Medical also Dr Chow but is a female. very famous but also pricey at Sunway Medical.

the bath gel where to get?
Yes im having lupus. just knew it last year...

@uglyduckling422 the drug is cyclophosphamide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclophosphamide)

Unfortunately SLE is is not easily diagnosed and most non-rheumatologists ascribe the symptoms to eczema, dengue, a lot of other stuff. There's a DNA test they can do to determine for sure if it's SLE or not.

You can just drop in and see the doc, and ask for the DNA/Anti-DNA test for SLE - they will draw some blood and you will get the results in a few days. Don't delay.

Ok thanks
I go for rheumatologists at Sunway oredi. She say Im having SLE. Since its pricey i change to UM and they say the Sunway doc is famous sure not wrong. Im in medication now..thanks

Ru SLE patient also?

Dr Chow Sook Kuan. UM I dunno his name. Its a Professor. Indian...

No problem. Pls ask yr mum eat more healthy ya..no preservatives things..

Dr Chow is very famous..

@babybb you can also get 1st hand support from SLE patients at http://www.lupusmalaysia.org

The skin rashes can probably be helped by steroid-based creams to reduce the inflammation, but see the doctor first. This is a chronic illness (don't think it's curable using current medical tech) so it's important that the patient has a long term trusting relationship with the doctor.

@babybb let us know what medication the rheumatologist prescribed once you've seen. Please note that supplements are just that - SUPPLEMENTS and they're not supposed to replace the prescribed medications. I've heard about a lot of SLE patients who went off their medication when they feel that the supplements are helping. They did not survive very long

If your mom has SLE, i would suggest to bring her to hospital selayang for further follow up, as it is the national rheumatology center in Malaysia and it's a government hospital, where treatment fee will be minimal.

However, since it is a referral center, u can't just walk in and get appointment. It's better for u to walk to green zone in A&E hospital selayang first, get a referral letter to rheumatology then get an appointment from rheumatology clinic.

SLE is a multisystem disease, where it can affect most organs in the body. So it's better to act fast.

The mainstay of treatment is immunosuppression. First line drugs will be a combination of hydroxychloroquine and prednisolone. Vitamin D3 itself doesn't help in treating the disease. However, it is usually given along with calcium supplement to counter the effect of osteoporosis caused by long term use of steroid (prednisolone).

Try not to take any supplement especially herbal based product as so far no concrete evidence that it will help in the management of the disease. Also, many of these products in the market right now contain steroid (LCW also kena). Thus it is not recommended as the doctors will be giving u steroid as part of the initial treatment, and excessive steroid consumption can cause unwanted effects such as osteoporosis, cataract, gastritis, obesity, diabetes melitus and hypertension.
