Sore skin: Anyone get areas of sore skin (no rash... - LUPUS UK
Sore skin
All of the above my blood tests bounce from negative to positive and I think the white blood count is up and down ,I'm back on 2weekly bloods due to chainging to methatrexate injections ask for another blood test and compare them
I get this all the time over mostly my chest, arms and back. Then I get a rash on both sides of my hips and wake up with sore everywhere so I know whatever I actually have wrong with me is flaring up. So achey I feel like my bones are crumbling or I've done a gruelling work out.
I just joined this yesterday after some positive blood tests and can't believe all the symptoms people are experiencing as they are exactly the same as me. I guess that's a good thing in a way I don't feel like I'm going crazy as much!

Hi dogtired ,
Many people with lupus experience a flare of general symptoms from sun/UV exposure and not necessarily just the photosensitive rash. You can read more about lupus and light sensitivity in our blog article here - lupusuk.org.uk/coping-with-...
Have you been referred to a rheumatologist for further investigations after your positive ANA results?
