Hi
I went to the docters yesterday because when I got up i felt really bad, my right arm is numb and it feel like I have pins and needles all the time. I also cannot use this arm for anything, like carrying shopping, opening doors. My hips and left leg was also in great pain. as was my right ankle. I felt sick and dizzy, I have also spent the last two days in bed. Sorry if this sounds a bit confusing I cannot think straight. I am tired all the time. The docter said it was a flare, like they have in lupus, but I am supposed to be borderline lupus, what ever that means. Can anyone tell me how long a flare can last, as I feel very stupid and useless to everyone about me. I am used to doing everything for everybody else not the other way about, although this is getting more and more common that I need help. I am getting very depressed about all this, and the docter is going try and get me a quicker app. with the rheumy, not that I have much faith in them. Sorry have to go, I am now in agony after typing this, hope someone can give me and answer, thanks lynne
