Dear outatimemom,

Welcome to LUpus Patients Understanding & Support (LUPUS) at HealthUnlocked.

I can understand how fearful and anxious you are feeling. I suggest that you go and see your GP and explain your symptoms which may or may not be lupus related. Is the sick feeling related to your balance problems - for example, sea sickness? Perhaps you could write down all your symptoms relating to this so you can give your doctor all the information. I know it is easy to say, "don't worry" - but go and see your doctor. I am not a medical doctor and only a doctor can examine you - so please get yourself checked out.

We also have another website called the LuPUS Message Board where you can also post questions and talk to other people. Registration is FREE and we offer free information and free online psychological support. We specialise in psychological support with our own counsellor/psychotherapist available.

Hello outatimemum, I have had this problem too. Thankfully, none in the last 6mths, but nothings changed to explain why, except more steroids and depo jabs. I have not had the nausea, but for me it's as if, my brain hasn't told my feet, we're moving.!!! My body moves but the feet stay where they are. I have fractured 2 ribs, which won't heal, and like you, have badly bruised myself, in various places. I did tell all to my rheumy, who looked as puzzled as me. She did not ask any questions about it, and has not took it any further.

Sorry, I can't advise, only share this horrible problem.
