I'm 23 and 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus. Since my diagnosis I have been seeing a rheumatalogist and in these 3 years my lab work has come back stable and the Dr is not wanting me on any meds. I have a few concerns though and I think its time to get a new dr.Ive had a few flares which he treated with prednisone, also have had pleuirsy 3 times, iritis ( inflammation of they eyes) chest pains and just this recent winter my arthritis has gotten so bad I can barely bend my arms, open a bottle of water or lift a cup of coffe; just to name a few examples. Is it possible that my arthritis can be so bad but my results come back stable? Should my dr be putting me on some type of anti inflammatory medication? Any suggestions would be great. My mother worries so much about me because she as well has lupus but has been in remission for 10 years. However, her sister had it when she was my age and past away from kidney failure. <br /> <br /> Thanks,<br /> Jena

I'm not sure if that's normal.....I know someone however, who had lupus for 10 years and is now symptom free. The only thing she changed is, she started taking healthy chocolate 3 times a day. Check out the following website and read the testimonies: www.MyDrChocolate.com also

I had some crown work done by a dentist in my local area (about 2 1/2 years ago). The original dentist that did the work has an expressed warranty of 3 years.Since my porcelain crown has fractured and cracked in half, I contacted the dental office to inquire about warranty. I was informed that the original dentist had sold the practice to the current dentist that was inquiring with including the patient records. I have contacted both the original doctor and the current doctor. The current dentist has said that the liability still falls with the original doctor and the original doctor says the liability falls with the current dentist since the patient records were sold along with the practice. I'm stuck in the middle with both dentist pointing fingers at each other. On top of that, my insurance won't cover a replacement since the work was done withing the last five years so I'm stuck with a $1000 bill to replace the crown. Is there anything legal that I can do?
