    • About Me

      I am 28 yr old married mother of three.A paramedic at a busy vel one trauma center. I have been suffering with wide spread symptoms that I never thought were related until recently. I am waiting to hear back from my doctor if I have lupus. After tons of research on my symptoms my gut is telling me that I do. I need help!!!! For as long as I can remember I've been plauged with severe joint, and muscle pain, fatigue which seems to be getting worse, alopecia, severe itching, especially after a shower, headaches, and occasional fevers, rashes that seem to come and go as they please, and depression. I have been diagnosed with hypertension since I was 18 y/o. Shortly after hypokalemia, and SVT. UPDATE: I finally have a diagnosis. I have Lupus. I ave mixed feelings but glad to know it's not all in my head as some physicians suggested.

      From lupie1981 September 13, 2008

      Hey there...just wanted to say thanks for the hug it made me smile and these days recently I need that...I just got out of the hospital after almost 8 days in a quarantine room due to double pneumonia, an extreme case of the shingles (which was so severe because of me being immunosuppressed thanks to the lupus meds), pleurisy, and a pleural effusion...all at once...this is terrible...all somehow related to lupus...they did not even want me to come home now but I insisted...this is so much...but to know that there are truly other people out there that care means the world...hope that you are feeling okay and that I too will keep you in my prayers...xoxo Nicole

    • Close Lupus

      For the past ten years I've had this weird constellation of symptoms. None of which were severe, and they all seemed to happen at different times. First, my hair started falling out. Second, I was severely fatogued, And so on and so forth. About three months ago the symptoms all started to happen together and they were more severe than ever before. Finally my doctor and I considered that these symptoms could be related. My Primary sent me to a rheumy and I was diagnosed 1 month ago.
