Hello
5 yrs ago I started feeling very fatigued, chest ached(I described it like my chest felt like it had the flu) lasting from 1-3 wks at at time. I started taking dayquil just to get through the day thinking it was cold, flu etc. This went on for a year then I started in with doctors (ENT, primary, allergist). Great, I have allergies, I found my diagnosis(although I didn't have the normal allergy symptoms like running nose, watery eyes, etc.) My allergist put me on allegra in the morning & singular at night. This combo really seemed to work as the bouts I was having dissapeared. I am a migraine sufferer and have many hormonal issues (1 beautiful daughter but 4 horrible miscarriages). We have had some major trauma in our family starting 4 yrs ago. I attributed my now daily migraines and daily ourbreaks of herpes simplex to post traumatic stress. Mind you, I had an outbreak about once a yr and the migraines were about twice a week prior to this. I also have restless leg syndrome, urinate frequently during the night, issues w sleep & abdominal pain. When I go off of my allegra and singular the fatigue, flu like symptoms, chest aches come back. I most recently have been diagnosed w/ anemia, my knees and hip are painful, numbness occasionally in my neck, arms, leg, & a recent positive ANA blood test of 1:2560. Is all this normal for a girl of 38 yrs old or is this 5 yrs in the making of an autoimmune disease? My mom also had lupus.
