Hi im back after a couple of months. Last week i went to my doctor because of my swollen lymp nodes and she told me that its because of stress and fatigue.. then she prescribed me antibiotics and pain reliver. After three days of taking meds i noticed that i had a skin allergy and i dont know what is the cause of if i assume that its because of the food that i ate which is chicken and egg and i think it was caused by wheather sometime its hot then it became cold i dont knoww. Btw my skin allergy is called urticaria..theennn i visited my doctor again and she prescribed me a antihistamine and cream for my allergy then after three days my allergy became a little better but it was still itchy.. thenn the reason why im worried about having lupus because earlier when i woke up my muscle joints are in pain i dont know why. I hope it is becasue of my sleep last night .. then after that, i start googling symptoms of lupus and im starting to think negative about it im so stress . Im so scared of having lupus and i just did self diagnose..

(By the sorry about my grammar)

No you don't have lupus you are most likely having an allergic reaction to the medication and you are very stressed

When you have finished the course of all your medication you should go back to normal

Flaxseed oil in liquid or capsule form is very good for preventing allergies developing and for general good health

Also Evening primrose oil capsules are good for skin and anxiety

No it will be part of your allergic reaction to either the medication food or something else - try to buy some 1000mg flaxseed oil capsules and take 2 per day it will help prevent allergies developing further and will calm you down a bit
