Hello
Im not actually diagnosed with Lupus, but have Chronic Fatigue syndrome, however i feel a lot of my symptoms are very similar to Lupus :worried: and even though my tests came back negative for lupus i still feel something autoimmune is causing my symptoms, the docs just dont know what yet!
Anyway I have been wondering lately and Sorry if this is a stupid question :blush: but...
Do any of you guys who are diagnosed with lupus feel your lupus symptoms are better when you get a virus/infection?, the reason i ask this is because from my limited knowledge of lupus, lupus causes an overactive immune system, therefore if your immune system has a virus to work on would this cause it to have something to fight against. I have found that when i get a cold, i get all the cold symptoms, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat etc but my Chronic fatigue symptoms calm down, I was just wondering if this was the same for lupus sufferers? Sorry if this question is stupid, and doesnt make sense!:blush: Its just been playing on my mind for a while and well i thought id ask
Thanks for reading
