Both of my grandmothers have/had lupus.
I have been anemic for years, with iron infusions, never found out WHY I was anemic. I have gone through spurts of severly low WBC counts. For a few years.. at certain times, if my hand was in a fist and I wanted to open it up completely my fingers would get "stuck" like they were cramped, for a few seconds, then was fine. I have always had headaches.
Yesterday I woke up with a FULL body rash neck to the tops of my feet. Some areas are bright red, some not bright. It's not raised and not itchy. I woke up this morning and have it on my face, on my left cheek, and slightly on right. Also on the top of my nose.
I went to the doctor yesterday and he said he didn't know what it was. Put me on 10 days of Prednisone and I pick that up today. He said if it's viral, it will be gone in 24-48 hours. It burns at times (the rash) and is very hot to the touch. He said if it's not gone in 48 hours that he will do blood work for lupus.
I am 25 BTW.
Thanks for reading my long long loooong post.
God Bless.

OOOH and also I have a swollen lymph node on my face next to my ear, that was there before the rash appeared. Also today started with my bones/muscles/joints hurting. Not sure how to explain it, but my ankles hurt and my lower back, like very lower back, and its a weird hurt.. hard to explain..
