Hello,
I have been going to the doctor for many months and they cannot find out what is wrong with me...its been quite frustrating!
About 2 years ago I started getting these nasty sores on my body that do not go away quickly...sometimes last months. They were mostly on my back. I now get them on my back, chest, ears, face & scalp. The worst is the scalp ones b/c I now have many bald spots because of this!
Dermatologists tell me its acne (no way!) and I have undergone many many tests at the doctor. My ANA test came back 1:160. THey re-did it and it is unchanged. I am tired ALL the time, headaches ALL the time (just had a brain scan done & they found 2 white spots, no conclusion on those either). I also have joint pain (fingers) but they have done numerous blood tests and they can't find any swelling. I have had 20 different tests and everything is negative but the ANA.
I'm at my wit's end. I always feel sick and I feel like they are missing out on something huge. These sores are NOT normal. I was reading about discoid lupus and they sound similar. Does anyone else experience these and does anything help them? They are nasty little things...pus, bleed, & scab up constantly. And the scars are terrible...thick, dark skin. Nothing helps them...
Thanks for any help.
