Default Could I have lupus or something else? - 01-27-2010, 08:47 PM

I've been at different doctors who have been treating different things, but nothing seems to be getting better. I'm being treated right now for a thyroid problem that was discovered because of my extreme fatigue. I also have a dermatologist for a rash on my legs-I've had to go back 3 times for stronger lotions, but no help.

I also have random aches and pains, nausea, and I am stressed very easily.
Could it be lupus?

It could be a variety of things. It's time to see a specialist . I'm thinking a hematologist so they perform the proper test for lupus or any other arthritic condition.

Lupus is called the mimic illness as its symptoms mimic other illnesses. What you describe could well be lupus but it could as easily be something else. The best way is to get a blood test which may show up lupus. I say 'may' as about 10% of blood tests for lupus come back negative even though the patient has lupus.

Check our website: WNW.lupus.org.uk where there is more information on lupus including symptoms. If you are manifesting lots of the symptoms it's definitely wise to be tested for lupus even if just to rule it out. We also have a free nurslingoneo can answer further questions.

Hope that helps.
