PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
assalaamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa baarakatuh .
Dua hari lepas ,out of the blue , i got a referral prospect . She is not totally unfamiliar to me . She was referred to me a few months ago by a long-time consumer of mine , Prof. H . The subject of concern : SLE . Soon after our tele-conversation ,she was admitted into HUKL . Due to that she decided to postphone the appointment ( me to meet her ) , her reason being her consultant doictor had advised her to concentrate on allopathy threatment first.
This time around she requested to meet before her 2nd chemo cycle which is scheduled for tomorrow .Hence I went to meet her in Shah Alam yesterday night . She was accompanied by her computer programmer colleague and me by my DH.
She seemed to be so disturbed by the upcoming chemotheraphy Who wouldn't be . My advice was cancel it . That was brash , I thought later . Let's have some idea about SLE 1st ya .

Lupus(SLE ) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own connective tissue. This causes inflammation and damage to the skin and other organs, and leads to more and more varied infections. Lupus is most frequently a disease of women in their thirties and forties. Genetic factors play a role. In a predisposed person, environmental factors such as a latent viral infection, the use of certain drugs, exposure to ultraviolet light, or bodily injury can provoke the onset of the disease.
Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus, or discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), is a form of the condition in which only the skin is involved. Lupus is generally much less severe than SLE, which can affect not only the skin, but also the kidneys, blood vessels, eyes, lungs, nerves, and joints. Another form of the disease, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE), is midway in severity between IDLE and SLE. People with SCLE have a psoriasis-like skin rash and may also have joint pains and some blood-count abnormalities. However, they do not have the very serious problems that SLE sufferers can develop.
Typical lesions of Lupus are sharply defined red, scaly patches across the cheeks, nose, and outer ear canals. Other small red, scaly patches may also be seen on sun-exposed sites, such as the arms, legs, scalp, and upper body. Often there are also prominent blood vessels and large follicular openings in these patches. The lesions expand, become white and slightly sunken in the center, and heal with scarring and darkened or lightened pigmentation.
The rash tends to flare up in response to sun exposure. Other factors that can make the rash worse include local trauma, menstruation, fatigue, and illness. Persons with Lupus may also suffer from oral and nasal ulcers and permanent hair loss.
There's no cure for it ,as far as allopathy is concerned . The hospital treatments she has been taking for the past 6 years or so are drugs , steroids and now chemical theraphy . These have helped to supress the symptoms , which in her case includes joint-inflammation and rashes . The doctor warned her of the possible risk of cancer as a long-term side effect from the current prescriptions . Looks to me like an 'ANYWAY BUT LOOSE ' situation ..............from their perspective ( western medicine ). She was absolutely distraught thinking it was a catch 22 situation . THE GOOD NEWS IS SHE IS NOT. Even if the entire Medical world unanimously agree that she got no hope , it can't be true .......because she ( like each and everyone of us ) has the God-sent Doctor within , with the efficient functioning of which , is capable of resolving ALL DISEASES . We discussed for hours on this matter , something totally new to her .....and enlightening .Insya Allah , elaboration follows next .
