I was diagnosed with Lupus about four years ago, after a number of years with many different ailmants. I'm currently on prednisolone, plaquenil, azathioprine and asprin. I have been feeling awful lately, painful joints, exhaustion, headaches, night sweats and just feeling really ucky. Everytime I have my bloods checked, my ESR comes back normal. I thought the ESR was an indication of disease activity? So if mine's normal, what is causing all the problems. I feel sometimes as if maybe this is all in my head and that there's isn't anything actually wrong with me!! I've now developed stomach problems, and have just had a scan on my abdomen, and I am waiting for the results. Can Lupus cause stomach problems? Even though I've had this for about four years, I am finding it increasingly difficult to cope with. Thanks
