Hello everyone! What a blessing to run across this website today. I'll try to leave this short and sweet but I really would like to get some opinions!
I am a 31 year old mother of 3 that has NOT been able to be diagnosed with anything. It started a year ago with painful reoccuring uveitis and iritis in my right eye and moving joint pain. Along with some other things like a rash on my elbows, kidney proteins being spilled in my urine, etc.
At first they did all the testing for:
Rheumatoid arthritis
Neuropathy
MS
All sexually transmitted diseases
Heavy metal toxins
Different forms of psoriasis
My DNA has been picked apart and all testing has resulted in 'nada' nothing.
I've had on 2 different days 1 pint of blood drawn and placed into different vials for numerous testing
Krohn's disease
Colitis
I've seen:
A rheumatoid doctor
Neurologist
Dermatologist
Eye specialists
Urologist
gastrologist (2 colonoscopies in 4 months!)
Now they are questioning either Lupus or my being diabetic. I'll find out on Weds. afternoon.
I don't have the butterfly rash either, but see it's not very common. I do have the rash on my elbows. I still have reaccuring uveitis and iritis in my right eye. Currently I am taking 60mg of Prednesone and numerous eye drops and gel to stop the inflammation, but it's not stopping. I have lost complete sight in my right eye and see nothing but "floaters".
SO... you lupus people.... does anyone have these symptoms or are these even Lupus symptoms?:
Uveitis
Iritis
Numerous kidney stones/infections
rash on elbows
moving joint pain
nerve pain and inflammation
IBS (irratable bowel syndrome)
depression
Extreme anxiety
Any suggestions are appreciated! You are awesome!
Stay strong, live well
Your new friend,
Gina
