Ever been diagnosed with pleurisy?

Question

Been diagnosed before, went away two years ago. Now seems to be back again.
What causes it? My doctor never told me

Answer

I haven't dealt with it, but this is what I found.

Answer

I have pleurisy a couple times a year and to put it nicely , it sucks ! Mine is from lupus, and I’m in a major flare up right now. Husband and I are looking to start trying for baby #1 in August hopefully. Right now, I’m taking colchicine to try and get over this flare. I can’t handle any steroids, which is usually what they would prescribe for this. For pain, I can take 800mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours, but I usually just take medical marijuana in the form of gummies bc I’m already on meds for my Lupus and don’t want to take another pill. Hope you feel better! It’s super painful !

Answer

I have had it and it's no fun ☹️ I am not a cryer but I cried all the time. Let alone coughing up all that blood. Not breathing! My dr told me most of the time it's vital. Some people are just more susceptible to it. He told me to be more careful around people with any upper respiratory infections. The only way for truly know is for them to test the fluid between the sack of the lung. I was not willing to do that. No way! 
Good luck and get some rest. I know it's easier said then done. And remember to keep drinking fluids to help push it from your system
