Fed up and low

[MelAlice]

Just having a bad day today, I feel like I'm being bombarded by a large number of new symptoms and I don't know if they are all lupus and I'm struggling to cope. Have an appt with gp this afternoon but don't hold out much hope of getting to the bottom of it. Just want to feel well.

Hi MelAlice ,

How did you get on at your GP appointment?

[MelAlice in reply to Paul_Howard]

GP was very proactive! Went for bloods this am, now chest x-ray, then next week having another lung test and follow up with the GP again on Tuesday, mentally feeling a bit better today as I feel like I am being listened to, just hope they can help 😊

I'm pleased to hear that they have taken your concerns seriously and are doing a lot of investigations. Let us know how they go.

Some days are really hard especially when we just want to feel well or even just vaguely normal (although I've forgotten what that feels like!). I struggle with new symptoms too, the not knowing if they're new lupus symptoms or medication side effects or a new unrelated medical problem 😳 Just make sure that you always tell your GP or rheumatologist & get them investigated or at least have your mind put at rest, rather than worrying. Sending you a hug & the hope that we both have a better day tomorrow 😊
