I'm feeling kind of down today. Last night I looked up Lupus because of my docs concern at the appt, and I have more than several of the problems that they discussed. I never thought of Lupus as a possibility or even read about it for that matter. My doc said to read about so that I'm prepared when I go see the Nephrologist, since she's recomending me to get tested for it. I also read that 20% of lupus sufferers also have fibromyalgia. It said to look out for white blood cells in the urine... I've had plenty lab tests over the last year that showed positive for white blood cells. It also talked about inflamation of the kidneys, which my kidney scan showed chronic evidence of it. They tlked about muscle weakness...and I deffinitley have that. It talked about visiual problems, and I've been to 3 neurologists that can't figure out why I have such symptoms. They also talked about Reynoud's Syndrome, which I also have. And the migraine headaches are a symptom, too. I'm scared now...and couldn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned for quite a while before actually drifting off. I don't even want to tell Matthew about it. God know what jugdment might come out of his mouth.
