Does anyone know what kind specialist you would see for Lupus or Fibromyalgia? |
I am 19 and have been dealing with very hard and odd symtoms for about three years now. I have extreme fatigue, constant entire body pain, headaches that occasionally progress to migraines, sores that do not heal and are there for no apparent reason (I counted the sores on one of my legs yesterday, not including my foot which also has many sores, and counted 38)the sores are also on my arms and back and inside my nose, also large and very horrible looking bruises all over my legs for absolutly no reason I am not clumsy I do not bump into things nor do I drop this on myself or do anything to cause a bruise, they are all over my legs there is hardly one spot on my legs that is not covered in brown purple or yellow bruises. Also if I do happen to have an itch if I scratch it it breaks the skin instantly and I bleed profusly and have another sore that does not heal. I also am dealing with anxiety, restlessness. I cannot sleep at night either because i am in too much pain to fall asleep. Try a Neurologist first.He will help with the with the true diagnosis.He may prescribe you some pain medication for the pain.Fibromyalgia is a very very painful and debilitating disease.He may recommend you start with a pain specialist,who will also perform tests such as a MRI or CT scan and some blood work.Either one will probably refer you to a Rheumatologist,where you may get more tests.It seems like a lot of work and doctors,but it is best to find out every thing so you can be properly treated.Fibromyalgia does not get better it becomes more debilitating as you get older.Please you owe it to yourself to get the"royal" treatment and find out all you can about the problems you are having.Also after you have a diagnosis,and you are unable to be employed or have problems with employment b/c of your illness,file for disability or SSI.Again I say Fibromyalgia itself is debilitating,add Lupus to it and you probably are truly suffering. JRL-LPN Rhuematologist. Start with someone in internal medicine. If you have lupus or fm (and I hope you don't) you'll wind up with an oncologist. Best of luck. you might be a diabetic.have it checked out soon. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/myofascial_... YES, SEE A LISCENCED ENDOCRINOLOGIST. LUPUS IS An autoimmune disease. For the anxiety, you can start with your family doctor or an MD. Xanax is a good medicine for anxiety. To reduce the sores, don't sit in bed on that area. lie on your side and then switch the other side often so the blood doesn't pool to those areas. Don't take aspirin as it'll cause more bleeding. Tylenol might be okay for you if it doesn't interfere with other meds you are taking. Could be HCV as well, not Lupus or Fibro. Fibro would be viral based. Have them check you for HCV, HBV, Mono. Many other possibles...MS, HBV or food allergies. Could be any issue regarding organs such as kidneys, liver ect. If your 19 and its been going on for three years now, was there anything you did back then different? Any surgery's? Dental visits? Ear Peircings? Tatoo? Unprotected Sex? Share a razor or tooth brush? When did you have your HEP B vaccine or flu vaccine? There are soooo many possibilities, I wish I had a clear answer for you....See an internest. |
