Much of what i have experienced sounds like lupus to me but i have not received a diagnosis.

Hello kiwid25, I developed these "lumps" 5 years ago sound the same as yours. Ask to be investigated for Lupus Profundus, this was my diagnosis. Albeit my dermatologist is still trying to treat it but it seems under some sort of control with Mycophenolate. I sincerely believe mine was triggered by severe reaction to Quinoric which I was given in error to my usual Plaquinel. Good luck.

Sounds like lupus to me too, but I would get a second opinion and have them check you for lupus or even graves disease. But, I agree it sounds like lupus to me, because I have just about all of those symptoms you listed and have been diagnosed with SLE type of lupus.

Best of wishes to you.
