Hi everyone, i would really appreciate some help and advice. I recently had a baby and have had some health problems since this. Ive always suffered from stiff painful joints for a long time but had an attack of vacillitis (spots and stiffness on lower limbs) and ended up in hospital. I am now getting other symptoms including stiffness and pain mainly in legs, back pains, blue fingers and tiredness. I am very frightened as i have a 6 month old baby to look after and have read some horrible things about lupus. I would really like some sensible and well informed advice as i am very upset at the moment and feel that i wont see my son grow up!!!! many thanks annie
