Can you feel when your immune system goes on the attack?

I get severe hot flashes, run a low grade fever, tremors, extreme dizziness, and dehydration, then within 15 minutes I get pains in the organs which I believe are under attack. This happens several times during the day and night. I believe when the hot flashes start up that is the point when your immune system is kicking into gear to start attacking something in your body.

When I researched it and it sounded to me like full blown Lupus. My ANA for SLE which is supposed to be between 1:80 is over 5,500. I did not have all of the markers for SLE test positive a year ago, but I did have half of them.

I have already been diagnosed with PBC and Hashimoto’s, and now I can feel my colon and kidneys under attack. I already have the skin rash issues on my face, and the glands under my right jawbone keep swelling up which sounds like Sjogern’s.

Hi GhostHunter

Wow that sounds like a lot to be coping with. It seems that you need to go back to your doctor for referral to the right specialists. I know diet is not defined for PBC but do you know if any foods add to your problems? Hopefully your doctor has enough knowledge to help you. Get back to us and let us know how you get on. best wishes
