I'm getting confused by my doctor. She has to say I have lupus or even suggest that it sounds like lupus, but she's only asking me questions pertaining to lupus symptoms and she's treating me with...
Every once and a while I see someone come on here checking to see if their adult acne is the result of lupus. It doesn't take on the shape of butterfly rash and other people mention having it, but...
Do you have other symptoms of an autoimmune disease or does anyone in your family has one? My dr. Is keeping an eye on me because of a positive ana, symptoms, and missing family history....
I think I have, but with a full diagnosis still in the air no one really has much to say. I still haven't figured out what triggers it. Like, the last few days I haven't gotten nauseous at all....
Does anyone else feel like throwing up all the time? I can never tell if I'm hungry or thirsty or full. I just know I'm nauseous and want to lay in bed most days and not sure if it's me or the meds....
I've been dx with unknown autoimmune disease, fibro, and costocondritis. In the past, my blood work has been all over the place. One day, I look sorta healthy, the next, I look like I'm dying. My...
I just started plaquenil about two weeks ago and for some reason I feel like I'm being murdered by my period. I've been dx with fibro, costo, and tension headaches all my trigger spots seem to be...
I've looked up the rashes online and they're very extreme pictures. I've looked really close at my face and I noticed that I have these small bumps across my nose that seem to be filled with oily...
@lmj It's a really bad flare. I've never experienced anything like it before. It's been constant for the past year and a half with no repreave for more than a few hours. My rhuemy thinks my fibro is...
I just had the miracle of all miracle's happen today. Since I have costochondritis, I can't do chores that involve wiping anything, ie, cleaning the bathroom, and my sister thinks bathrooms only need...
The test came back clean this time. I find that interesting since I was feeling worse than the last time. But my ANA went up a step. It really needed to sink in that I need to take my health more...
Over the last few years I've developed adult acne after having nothing of the sort going when I was younger. I know that's not all that abnormal. Why it does seem abnormal to me is it's relation to...
I checked out the lupus forum, it's not very active and most of my active symptoms seem to be from fibro, thank God. If it does turn out to be lupus it will be caught really early, and thus far all...
Everyone gave you very good advice. Just to add my two cents, not feeling positive doesn't mean your feeling negative. I spend most of my day in the neutral space and there's no depression there....
So, I went to the rheumy yesterday and she feels very strongly that I have fibro, as a secondary sickness. I'm concerned because I think I'm showing signs of lupus and that's pretty serious. I...
I'm looking for a new pair of slippers as mine are two years old and have died. With the pain, I now have special criteria and get any cute pair like used to. So here's what I need: -a slip on pair...
What are nuvigil and corvalen m? I'm still trying to figure the fog thing out. The entire last year lumps into three months I can barely remember. So I can't tell if it's a natural fog or a medicinal...
I would feel better about it if I truly felt I was depressed, but don't think being fatigued is enough of a description. And I would assume if someone were fatigued they wouldn't get much pleasure...
Has anyone been prescribed Topamax? I can't remember if my brain was this foggy before the drug. I was on Gabapentin, but it only worked for me at the high dose and I fell asleep at work....
What are some ways you guys deal with the brain fog and the fatigue? They seem to be the hardest parts for me....
Has anyone else been misdiagnosed with depression before the doctor realized there was something else going on with? When I first started to show symptoms, it was overwhelming fatigue (what got me to...
Thanks for all the ideas. I had been debating over printing up the spoon theory. I wanted to, but didn't want to because i didn't want anyone to feel bad for me. I consider that negative attention. I...
I've been so tired, the idea of going to the bathroom makes me mad. I'm like, "why did I drink all that water?" And it doesn't matter how close I am to a bathroom, it's waaaay too inconvenient....
Hi, everyone! I've been lurking for a few months now and decided this seems like a positive community and decided to officially join. I've been seeing all sorts of specialists for the last year after...
