I know that symptoms of Lupus are different for everyone. I have been in severe pain since October. I usually have a few good days out of each week but the rest are miserable. I have gone to a doctor who took some general bloodtests and his conclusion is that i'm anemic. My iron count is normal but my mcv and mch are low. I also have a high sed rate and a high ultra sensitive cap. Arthritis was negative so he is telling me my pain is overuse which is not possible. My activity had been the same for over a year and was actually a little less at the end of the summer.
Here are my symptoms
Pain that feels like from the bone and some joint pain. (hips, legs, feet, shoulders, hands, sides of torso.)
low grade fever much of the time 99 - 100
sensation that my eyelids are sticking and blurred vision
dizziness
hands and arms tingling and falling asleep randomly...(not just if I'm sleeping on them which happens too)
fatigue and weakness
I get a rash on my cheeks and bridge of nose but only when I'm experiencing these other symptoms.
Sometimes I itch all over but no rash that I can tell
My aunt died of Lupus...so maybe I'm a bit paranoid and plan on seeing a different doctor. I just want to find out what's wrong so I can catch whatever it is early enough for treatment.
Are these symptoms of Lupus?
