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?
