I am so sorry to hear that. One was bad enough, but two at a time would be unfathomable.

They seem to have good periods and bad periods. They can go for months without symptoms and then all of a sudden they feel cruddy.
My sister gets the skin rashes symptoms, my mom gets the fatigue. My mom's has been in remission for a couple of years but my sister's seems always present some how. I'm afraid I don't know much about their issues regarding lupus because they don't like to talk about it outside of the Dr's office.

Ugh. That just made my stomach queasy. I feel sorry for Ms. Schiavo.
