Lupus
Posted: 03-07-06 20:35pm

I have had several miscarriages (8), I have severe sun allergies (hives that spread to areas where I was protected with clothing), have had elevated anticardiolipin level, I get infections in my mouth--tons of cancre sores which are diagnosed as "a virus" about twice a year, been recently diagnosed with tennis elbow due to major weakness and pain in my elbow, have symptoms of arthristis, and now, am again anemic. Also, six years ago, I was referred to a specialist, by an fertility specialist, to see if I had lupus. The doctor based the referral on my inability to maintain a pregnancy for more than 8 weeks and and elevated anticardiolipin level. They could find no other reasons for my infertility problems

the specialist said that I didn't have enough symptoms at that time to be diagnosed with lupus. My question is, should I keep asking about lupus? I think there is something a little too coincidental about my symptoms and I don't feel good often. I am tired often, sore from cleaning my house, and just think there has to be more to these symptoms. Any ideas?
