Well! This is a club none of us wanted to join! Waiting for my doctor appointment for official diagnosis but no surprise here! And I’m 74! Fibro diagnosed in 1990 but symptoms from age 5. Generational family issues of Sjogren’s, seizures, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Raynauds and polydactyly. Among others yet to be identified. At some point I expect many of these will have some kind of connection.

I have chronic chills and extreme fatigue prior to a flare. Fatigue is so bad it takes me 2 hours to prepare for bed

I will be seeing my third doctor next week I have mottling of my whole back for two months. I just wondered if anyone had skin issues?

In reply to Steve. I get terrible GI issues too, before I was diagnosed with lupus the dr's thought I had gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, possible Crohn's disease & I've even had my gallbladder removed so to severe pain in my upper stomach area. But even with all the diets and the surgery I still have the same GI issues. Nausea, vomiting and bloating have also become a regular part of my day all day.

In reply to Reid Kay. This is the only place I’m seeing GI symptoms like mine. I have not yet confirmed Lupus but I have the rash only near the opposite mucous membrane. I pass mucous cramp and bloat and also have prostate symptoms. Other Lupus type symptoms are fatigue, pain and inflammation in various joints. I have had bone fractures recently. I have signs of narcolepsy, blurred vision, cloudy thinking, reynaud’s phenomena . The rash started about 20 years ago that I thought was jock itch then settled in psoriasis. I have degeneration in my cervical vertebrae, wrists and knees. Could this GI stuff be Lupus also?

I’m newly diagnosed and at the “trying to figure out a lot of this” stage. I do recognize the sun, heat, and stress as being a huge factors for a flare! I have extreme fatigue, and all over body swelling . Any suggestions on how to get rid of the symptoms after they begin would be great!
