yes, definitely all different symptoms...often seem all over the map..sorry to hear about your diagnosis..hope your symptoms calm down soon
My diagnosis is fairly recent and, until then, I didn't really know much about it. Now, and with the help of this forum, I can tell that the "mystery" ill health I've had for a couple of years definitely links together. I'm sorry about the several symptoms together - I'm trying to get the hang of them, too. Everybody here can help a lot, best wishes.
Absolutely - lupus is a systemic disease, I.e it involves the whole body at once, so you're bound to have several symptoms at once. The good news is that once the treatment starts to kick in, all symptoms calm down at the same time too, though some more than others.
Just make sure u know ur body. Lupus will create more/different issues. So that may mean different meds that can help. I personally am trying to attempt a whole lifestyle change. And learning about natural ways to help these symptoms. If we keep filling ourselves w/ these meds, isn't that gonna kill the organs that they say lupus can affect? Which is everything in our bodies. I personally am hoping lupus is something related to what were intaking somewhere for over a long period of time. Whether it be in our food, the cans that contain our food, heck in the old days @ 1 point, the newly created pewter plates the rich ate off of were killing people & they blamed the tomato..& for almost 100 yrs people thought that the tomato was poisonous. There's ur history lesson as well as some added support. Lmao
As some of the other members have already stated, it is quite common to experience multiple symptoms at once in lupus. What symptoms are you currently experiencing? Have you been started on any treatment yet?
