Hi. My name is alicesha ( the name of my mother who had lupus). I have been feeling very strange for sometime. I don't know where to start or how to fit everything here so I am open to answering questions you guys may have. I am26. My mom died of lung failure and kidney failure due to lupus. She was diagnosed around my age. For years I have experience faint spells. For a few months a couple years ago chest pain was random and painful enough to stop me in my tracks, I was concerned I am be having a heart attack on different occasions because of the pain. I convince myself it was a pinched nerve. My iron levels are low and dropping. My nails have very deep white stains(all nails) and are peeling. I was told that is a sign of kidney issues. My left knee is becoming more and more uncomfortable vs pain. I have been getting random skin irritations that come at the slightest touch of literally anything even myself. They are red swollen and bumpy but disappear after a few minutes. But the last few days have bee really bad. My period was expected. I relieved all of the symptoms but I have yet to bleed. (No possible preg) I think my iron has gotten so low my body refuses to let out blood. Everyone thinks I'm imagining but I KNO WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG. I know most will suggest to go to the doc.... I'm afraid they will find excuses to drug me... And I don't have ins yet.i was hoping to get opinions. I have to get tested I know... But plzhumor me and talk to me... Im not going crazy ... Am i
