Hello,

I been having some symptoms for almost a month now . Over the course of the last three weeks I have been developed more symptoms and have experienced an increase in pain.

My symptoms in the order they developed : gerd with inflated stomach,chest pain increased heart rate ,fluctuation with blood pressure, headaches , arthritic pain with swollen joints ,stiff joints , flank pain, pain all over (pins all over sensation, swollen lump nodes, some nausea, and sensativity to sunlight.

I have had some fatigue and decreased urination. I applied sunblock yesterday and ended up with a sunburn on my face . It was extremely painful.
I'm currently waiting on my results from my physician , who just only ordered a rheumatoid arthritis work up panel . I wrote all my symptoms down and she simply dismissed them.

I don't know what else to do I don't want to keep going to the dr everyday and being treated like a hypochondriac .

I'm just tired and anxious to find out what's going on with me I feel doomed and I feel as if my family doesn't understand .I have been diagnosed with anemia and I have had slightly low potassium before. And lately I have been having seizure like migraines.

All comments welcome.

((((((((Hugs)))))))

waiting for a diagnosis is a grueling trial. Hang in there.
it is hard for others to understand our pains and worries
at least your doctor's willing to run tests, but lupus is not diagnosed strictly by blood work. There is a list of 11 indicators of Lupus you need to meet 4 of the indicators . The list can be found in the thread called Lupus 101.
