Being tested for lupus could i have it?

my symptoms are:

red rash like eczema on nose and cheeks
fatigue
high blood count
headaches
liver spots
aching joints
constant ear, kidney and water infections

does this sound like lupus?

i've also had 1 eptopic and 14 miscarriages which i was told was due to sticky blood, have weight gain, sore scaly face and in mornings i have trouble walking more so if i'm cold

If I was in your situation and I got a lupus diagnosis-I would consult private doctors who may offer tests and treatments not available on the nhs-The private hospital below may investigate possible infections causing ,or contributing to ,your symptoms. Lupus can easily be a misdiagnosis,if for example someone has lyme disease.
If I had your symptoms and didnt get a diagnosis,I would head straight for the private hospital below.

It does sound like it could be a possibility, Lupus is very difficult to diagnose, they thought my nan had it and then it turned out she didn't. If they're testing for it, the drs obviously think it's a possibility.

Yes, I have it too. It sounds like you may have it. But Lupus is very hard to diagnose. Usually have fevers, chills, swollen fingers (Raynauds syndrome) Butterfly rash on face, sometimes scaly rashes on other parts of body, fatigue, weight loss, temporary hair loss, and painful joints.

you may have mercury poisining. It kicks off the same symptoms. Google mercury poisining



Hope this helps

Yes it does; and yes it is difficult to diagnose. You already have sticky blood (Hughes Syndrome). I'm assuming you've been tested for ANA (anti-nuclear antibody) and Anti DNA antibodies. If you have lupus then the former will be positive and the latter will be raised. Are you going to see a rheumatologist? If you are then write down any questions that you may have before you go.

It could be lupus or it could be a lot of other things. Lupus is known as the great imitator. Instead of hunting for a diagnosis in Yahoo Answers, please make an appointment with a rheumatologist.

Make sure to write down these things:
1. What symptoms are you having?
2. How often do you have these symptoms?
3. How severe are the symptoms?
4. What makes you feel better?
5. What makes the symptoms worse?
6. When did the symptoms start?
7. Does any first degree relative have an autoimmune disease? What?

Bring any labs you have had done with you.

Doctors are usually not happy with patients who come in after having diagnosed themselves. Diagnosis of lupus is complicated. Whatever is wrong with you, you want the doctor to be your partner in solving the mystery. How you present yourself in the first meeting will lay the ground work. Please keep that in mind.
