I started with Migraines - 3 years ago & have since developed dizzy spells (to the point I ohysically tip), palpitations, poor circulation, high blood pressure, night sweats, dislocating hips and crumbling shoulders - at 25 I felt like a total hyperchondriac as my doctor diagnosed me with anxiety. I had 6 blood tests as my white cells were too high & when they went back to normal I was told I had had a bad viral infection. I have now developed a burn like rash on my hands, my skin crumbles & I have had a tiny patch on my chin. It all seems too coincidental, I have never had these issues, I have changed doctors & been referred to a cardiologist & had fasting blood tests this morning. My vein collapsed in the process ( it did this last month in my other arm by a different person) so this worried me too.
I have had a moan & someone said "that sounds like Lucas to me" I had never heard of it and I'm worried if my doctor doesn't know about it how do I go about disgusting it & if it's a possibility this is the cause?
Thanks for reading, at my breaking point with feeling rough all the time

Sorry to read how ill you are. It's good you've changed GP's and have been referred to a cardiologist who will say whether or not some of your many symptoms are to do with Lupus. The blood tests you've just had, did they include ANA.?. If so and it's positive your GP could refer you to a Rheumatologist so something to ask. The Cardiologist could also refer you to a Rheumy so one way or another you should get some answers and help. Good luck with the appointment. X
