I am a 33 yo female. Since I had my sweet baby boy 2 1/2 years ago my body has changed so much. I have been so tired and worn out, staying sick all of the time and so cold. For the past year I have struggled to get out of bed everyday. I am so tired everyday as soon as it sit down on the couch at night I'm out like a light that is if my legs let me. Spring last year my hips starting huring so bad I cant stand it. I was also suffering with headaches. I went to MD and they did lab which showed a neg ANA but elevated sed rate. I was put on celebrex and sed rate did come down. I went back because of continued headaches and hip pain. I had a head ct that showed nothing. Nothing new for my hips. I went back again and more anti inflammatories for my hips. Went back again and they said it was my back so sent to ortho. Had MRI which showed a bulging disc pushing on nerves but accorinding to the Radiologist this was not bad enough to be causing such pain. Since then I have had ulcers popping up in my mouth. I have an ulcer in my nose that will not go away. 2 months ago I started getting a rash on my hand that is so much like a discoid its crazy. I have gotten more on my arms and neck. MY face is also turning red and burning and then the skin peels off. My eye lids are swollen and red. Since then 3 weeks ago i was diagnosed with pleurisy. Scheduled derm appt in hopes for biopsy as my friend with lupus swears that the places I have are discoid. Went to derm yesterday and was dx with dermatitis and refused biopsy. I left the clinic in tears. My body feels like it is falling apart. Im lost and confused and don't know where to go from here. I feel like I'm going crazy. The nurse at derm yesterday even told me not to give up that she would talk to another MD at the clinic an see if they would do the biopsy. SO after that long spill what do you guys that have been diagnosed with lupus think of my case? What do you recommend. I open to anything at this point. I just want some relief and be able to enjoy my life and family again.
