1319928 tn?1274347872 If the rhuemo doc says you have it watch your kidneys and the sun, get used to appling sun tan lotion every morning it will be your best friend. I can tell you a lupus burn feels worse then a normal sun burn and takes alot longer to get over it. Another thing you might want to look up The American Lupus Foundation they will give you alot of information.
Avatar f tn The itching seems more internal. Could this be from the Lupus. I have systemic Lupus, not the Discoid. Does anyone else with Lupus get this?
Avatar f tn t want to raise any alarm bells but it sounds exactly like what my skin did before I was dx. with discoid lupus; the itching, swelling, rash, lesions. The only thing you didn't mention was the hair loss. Discoid lupus lesions will manifest in areas not actually exposed to the sun. Do hope you get a good diagnosis. I'm with kindd ~ Take care and pls do keep us posted on how you are doing. Regards.
Avatar n tn Hi, It really alarmed me that laser treatment may even be considered at this stage, without anyone actually being aware of what's at the root of the problem, as if whatever is happening internally to cause the rash continues to happen, lasers surely won't provide any long term solution and could damange her skin into the bargain!
Avatar n tn t been diagnosed with lupus but my butterfly rash has been very persistent the last 6 months or so. no swelling but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia so pain is a constant part of my life as well as chronic fatigue.
1156914 tn?1300571629 From your description it doesn't seem like lupus, but lupus sometimes comes in different forms with overlapping symptoms. I can only tell you from our experience that atypical lupus patients (those patients with an incomplete diagnosis of lupus) that we tested had a high rate of chronic infections. Many of the other signs/symptoms appear in CFS patients, who are also very likely to have chronic infections of the type I have discussed before in this forum.
459853 tn?1283140514 About a year and a half ago I started noticing this redness I had across my cheek bones and nose. At first I thought it was wind burn from the cold winter, but it never went away and is only getting worse! I had a baby last year and that's when I really starting noticing it. My older daughter claims it's been there for years though. But not it's to the point where I'm getting not just the rash, but what looks like pimples with no head. In other words, like a raised rash.
Avatar n tn Hello, I posted this in the lupus area, so I just wanting to post it here to see if anyone can help me out. Thanks Hello everyone, I am a 23 year old mother of two. I have been having severe joint and muscle pain for over a year, I went to the dr and had test done, I had 3 positive ANA tests, I don't have MS, Schjorns disease or mixed connective tissue disease. I have lupus in my family and although I don't have the rash, but I have chest pain and numbness throughout my body.
Avatar m tn People with Lupus will get a "butterfly rash" across their nose and cheeks. They can also have a positive RA factor because Lupus does joint damage. Wonka is correct that it is difficult to diagnose in the beginning of the disease and you do have to meet 4 out of 11. Your levels (blood levels) will flucuate (becoming normal then abnormal when the disease is active). An ANA is a standard test for Lupus but will also come up positive for other diseases.
1139187 tn?1355706647 I dont have lupus, but a friend of mine found out she does and she is 20. She is going to call me this week to talk. I have read about it and it looks very similiar to hashimotos except the rash and skin issues. Is there anything else different besides the rash? Is it usually treated the same way hashi's is treated or graves? (or could go either way). I am just trying to learn more about this to help her where i can.
459853 tn?1283140514 s are negative in approximately 5% with lupus. Other antibody markers of lupus include cardiolipin antibody, anti-smith antibody, DNA antibodies, SS-A and SS-B antibodies. I had a butterfly redness across my cheeks and nose and suspected this symptom might be due to Lupus but after many tests my rheumatologist ruled that out. Many years later I finally figured out this symptom was from bouts of hyperthyroidism from Hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune hypothyroidism).
2183922 tn?1340289260 s only BOARDER LINE LUPUS what does that mean I feel sick all the time with a light rash on face/mouth sore/joint pains/ im loss my hair/ i have been taking hydroxchloreq 200 mg and now Dr.
1485713 tn?1287979901 I have had it for several years and it has changed a little bit in shape and colour being more purple previously. It does not itch or burn and in fact most of the time I don't even know it is there. I tried a number of creams from my doctor but nothing has changed it at all. It is very unsightly and quite visible if I am wearing sandals or bare legs. I have pictures that I can provide if it would help to solve this problem.
1823499 tn?1370090289 My dxs are eds, chiari, autonomic dysdunction, raynauds, basilar invagination, possible lupus, etc.... I am curious if anyone with eds has issues with pain/swelling in shoulderblade and up neck into top of shoulder and down top of collarbone area? I have had this for 6 years but now its constant and extreme pain. None of my drs do anythibg except perscribe drugs. Curious if this is from my eds or one of my other dxs?
Avatar f tn If ANA is <1, RNP Antibodies 0.2, Smith Antibodies <0.2, Antiscleroderma-71 Antibodies <0.2, Sjogren's Anti SSA,<02,Sjogren's Anti SSB <0.2, Antichromatin Antibodies <0.2, Anti-jo-1 <0.2, anticentromere B Antibodies <0.2... and the range is 0.0 - 0.9..Does this mean I have Lupus? and if not what diagnosis does this lab result indicate? and the severity?
Avatar f tn Finally!! Someone who is like me. I have lupus. I know this b/c I had a skin biopsy come back positive. Positive ANA and sun sensitivity rash. However, I also tested positive for smooth muscle antibody 1:80 titer. I have also tested positive for Hep C antibody. I am awaiting test results for HCV RNA to determine if I have the actual virus (viral load). My Rheumy is NOT concerned about the smooth muscle antibody. He says sometimes in autoimmune we just develop antibodies.
Avatar n tn Some Hashis get the mouth sores and find they also have Celiac disease. Try staying away from Gluten, ALL products with gluten for a week and see if this helps. It might just help if you have any constipation or stomach pain. I'm such a hypocrite! I went gluten free for two months, and I had a bread breakdown that has lasted four days. I'm so sick now. I don't know about the mixed bag, thing.
Avatar f tn - the butterfly rash, when I try to google it it looks very extreme. Does anyone know of a source of less extreme or maybe it doesn’t work like that? Can it be more faint?
Avatar n tn This sounds like Lupus. In fact, it sounds EXACTLY like Lupus, which is another autoimmune disease. The butterfly rash is characteristic of this disease. So is hair loss and dry, flaky skin. I would contact a doctor ASAP and get this checked out.
787406 tn?1339203183 Hi I just went through the same experience! I've been dx with Lupus now for 6 yrs, but it never went full blown. My ANA has always been low. Now I moved to another state and right away got me a new rheumy, and in the meantime Ive been looking also for a dx of MS, because I started having the tell tail sx ON, vertigo, tingling numbness etc. Plus my sis had been dx with the same sx.
