Is it lupus???

Hi, I have been going to drs for months now for my autoimmune problem and really have no answers, my AnA is always positive, periphereal, my sed rate is around 48 and I hurt daily. I get pockets of swelling, my hands ache terribly and are numb when I wake up. I've also gained 30 pounds! Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks, yes I have, I'm getting a second opinion tomorrow, the first one started me on plaquenil, but it made me nauseous so he told me to stop and then did nothing else, my hands hurt so bad, it's hard to type.

I've never heard of that one, I'm anxious to see someone else, hoping and praying for answers. This autoimmune stuff really works on a person. Thanks so much for your input!
