Hi guys,I have been to the doctors today as I really think I may have Lupus.If anybody hasn't heard of it it's an auto immune disorder that attacks the healthy cells in the body so causes some crap to go on.I haven't really got health anxiety to a serious level but I need some answers now as my health problems all lead to this conclusion.I explained to him that for about 10 years now I have had one thing after another and 9 times out of 10 they have found actual things wrong so it isn't all in my head.I have high blood pressure,kidney disease,anxiety,fatigue,joint pain and these are all symptoms of this dreaded illness.I went on the internet and really read up on this and made a very informative conclusion that it may be this.The doc really listened for once and said he is going to send me to a specialist to find out one way or another which is reassurring.I am very frightened though as it says it causes inflammation in the body and that includes the brain and sometimes it causes seizures which is one thing I have a very heightened fear of so I am really worried now.I had some throbbing pains in my head recently and I am scared now that it may be the inflammation,what does anybody else think?My husband said that I may as well put it from my mind for now as the tests are going to be a few weeks away as the doc hasn't even wrote the referrel letter yet so I ain't gonna get answers tonight but I am really fretting about this and it's making my anxiety worse-much worse.I have just got a job at Tesco which is going ok and if I have it things will have to change.One of the reasons why I decided to go to the docs is the fact that when I have been to work I feel really off and ill and other people just sail through pulling trolleys full of stock and going up and down stairs but I feel like death sometimes.,the doc said if you have Lupus you will feel like this so there you go.Does anybody on here know anybody with this thing or am I talking a load of nonsense? Hope I haven't driven anybody to distraction with my mad ramblings but I feel very distressed about this.
