I am new here. I have not been diagnosed yet.... I really am getting frustrated here. I have had so many symptoms of lupus. I have lost 20 lbs in 1 1/2 months, really thirsty, aching joints, chest pains, mouth ulcers, anxious, weak legs, fatigue, protien in urine, rash that comes and goes in a matter of min or days. Does this sound anything like lupus. All the Dr. wants to do is put me on anxiety pills. I know something is wrong with my body. I just don't know what it is. I have went to a Internal Medicine Dr and he says no way it's lupus. My GP says it sounds like an autoimmune diesease of some sort. Went to a Rhummy and he says I am not a typical lupus patient. Must be Viral. 1 1/2 mths of viral... ?????? I don't under stand. Lupus screening came back neg. ANA was neg. Can I trust this? I cant stand the chest pains and all the aches I have. Constant sore throat and lots of mucas drainage. Anyone have this? I am about at the end of my ropes. No one can tell me whats wrong with me. I even had an african American Dr. tell me it's not common in White women. So she didn't even want to hear about those symptoms. I hope it's not lupus, but what if they are over looking something..... Sorry how long it is.. I just need to vent to someone... I hope you all have a good day... BTW.. .my name is Vicki.. I live in the United States. In Arkansas. I am married with 4 children... it's hard dealing with all the fatigue when you have small ones.. I push myself all the time... Is leg cramps a symptom of lupus? just wondering... I have the worse leg cramp in the right calf.... again... thanks for listening...

Yes... both have came back neg. . I feel as if my body is shutting down. I have little red bumps that don't hurt on my lower legs. I know I am not going crazy. I just wish they would find out whats wrong with me...Thanks for the reply.

I just want to thank you all for your nice comments and good advice. I am presently crying... I feel as if everyone thinks I am crazy. You all seem to understand. I go to bed with the chest pains and think will this be my last night. I am having blood pressure problems with the bottom number spiking to 106. Dr. says it is related to pain. DUH.... I am at the bottom of my rope and don't see myself being able to climb out. I do thank you all. I wish you all the best and again I am not giving up. I wonder why the darn rashes want to dissapear in a flash? It's almost as if they don't want to aide in diagnoses...
