I have an appointment with the GP again next week.
I have been tested for lupus last year but was negative, but I tested positive just after I had a still birth in 1999.
Potted medical history is
I had what they called growing pains as a child
I was diagnosed as having epilepsy when I was 22, but this was later undiagnosed, though I still have attacks of petit mal fits
I have recurrant headaches
I am very sensitive to the sun, I burn very easily and it gives me headaches and hurts my eyes
I am constantly exhausted even when I have a good nights sleep, I am rarely awake after 9pm and do not get up before 7am, though usually am in bed by 6pm as i am too tired
I could sleep through the day easily, I wake up feeling exhausted
I get pains in my fingers occassionally and my legs give way
I have a rash over my nose and cheeks which is made worse by light
I am allergic to milk
It appears that my hair is falling out more than normal
I frequently feel sick for no reason
I have clinical depression that was made worse by having twins, they are now 8
I bruise very easily
I think that is mostly it, could it be lupus even though my results last year were negative.
I have waves of when these symptoms increase, but when they are at a low I am still extremely tired, to the effect that I cant cook the children tea or do anything with them. I joke that I am ok between the hours of 10am and 2pm.
I rarely go out in the evening as I just do not have the energy
Sorry to moan, but any advise on what to say to the GP next week is gratefully received.
