Annie, I'm glad you brought it up -- I think my sister might have it -- I've been talking about it for about a year. I've seen other Lupus sites -- but, never one that shows the symptoms as CLEARLY as this. Do you know a lot about Lupus? On the off-chance that you do, here are my sister's symptoms:
persistent headaches -- even though she is now on 200 mg of Topamax daily
pleurisy almost constantly since she was in college (she's now 40)
nose ulcers which turn into Staph infections (she's had over 18 infections in the past 10 years)
fever (she will run a temp one or two days a week -- 99° or 100°)
she works during the week, then rests/sleeps all weekend (profound fatigue)
somtimes her legs and ankles swell and we don't know why
Is it as hard to get dx'ed with Lupus as it is with MG? Could a GP run the blood test or does she need to go to specialist?
