My rheumy also told me that you would never have bumps with the lupus rash and to call immediately if I felt sharp pains when taking a deep breath. Well, when I got pleurisy I called and they told me that they couldn't help me and if I were having chest pains to go to er because I could be having a heart attack.
He also tested me for the parvo b19 virus and told me that I had been exposed at some point in life but that didn't mean anything. I've read on the internet that that can lead to lupus later. I have no idea anymore.View Thread

I have the same thing. I will have rigors because I'm so cold. But when I go to sleep, my body temp seems to rise. It's the exact opposite of normal people. lolView Thread

I have numbness on both of my calves and now other parts of my body. Have been diagnosed with a couple different neuropathies. They had me on Gabapentin for a while but made me sick so now I'm on a higher dose of Lyrica. I don't have any ringing in my ears but do have a lot of fog and dizziness.View Thread

Thanks all. The drs have said that they don't know why. I'm on lasics for the swelling. my rheumy says that lupus doesn't make you swell. I can't take anything with cinnamon because I'm allergic to it. I took myself off the hydroxychloriquin but am still swelling. I'm really about ready to give up. We don't have many drs to chose from around here and the ones that we have don't understand much about it.View Thread

I've been diagnosed and undiagnosed with Lupus since 2004 and still don't have a firm diagnosis because I haven't had a positive ANA yet. My rheumatologist starting treating me for lupus suspect and has since changed his mind since. I will keep trying until I find out what all is going on with me. Don't give up!View Thread

it is a long road but do not give up. I know that it's very frustrating. I took myself off all the meds they started me on because I didn't see results either. Now, I'm paying for it. Hang in there! Know that you are not alone!View Thread
