My kidneys have been still going through infections and right now are at 90% but have been recovering to 97% in between infections so I guess good news there.

Serious Pain

Yesterday about Midnigt, I had the worse Migraine ever. It just came out of the blue you know, I started seeing white flashing like lights and I knew what that meant.

MicroRNA’s Role in Interferon’s Contribution to Inflammation

Interferons (IFNs) are proteins produced by immune cells when the immune system is activated. They send different instructions to cells depending on the needs of the immune response; this can lead to cells making certain inflammatory proteins. IFNs communicate with the cells by linking up with receptor proteins along the cell surface, the way a key fits into a lock. This action sends a signal into the cell that eventually either turns on or turns off the process we recognize as inflammation.

Factors That Influence Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Lupus

Although women with lupus used to be advised to avoid getting pregnant, out of fear of complications for the mother, the baby, or both, a better understanding of the complications of lupus and improved management of lupus pregnancies have resulted in improved outcomes.

Today at least 85 percent of lupus pregnancies result in live births.

However, doctors still advise women who have active lupus kidney disease (lupus nephritis, or LN) not to get pregnant until their disease has been inactive fo… Continue
