Does anyone know what this could be? My face looks so odd. My skin appears to be white around my cheeks and noise. Thank you

Why do you think it’s an autoimmune problem? You should see a doctor.

I'm not sure to be honest. I had a stroke like attack 8-9 months ago. And ever since I've had really bad joint pain, overactive bladder, vomiting, headaches mucus in my throat. I have had blood tests done in the past and they came back normal however, I don't feel okay?

In which case you really, really need to speak to your doctor instead of asking people whose medical knowledge and education is impossible to prove. You could be given dangerous advice, especially if you are unwell.

@NeunundneunzigHorseBallonz you do know this is an advice board for people with/suspected autoimmune issues to ask for advice? Its not unreasonable for @soappyblue to ask for ideas, shes not asking for a diagnosis FFS!! your posts are rude, condescending, completely without empathy and utterly unhelpful.

@soappyblue are you thinking maybe Lupus due to the butterfly appearance of the rash? I think you have enough going on health- wise to warrent a refferal to a rhuematologist. You may need to be quite firm with your GP, but you certainly need some help as you sound as if youve gone through the mill. Make sure to take your photos with you to show GP as they maybe gone by then.

@Redannie118 thanks a lot for replying! Thanks for the advice I will definitely speak to my GP and ask for a referral ❤️

Look up autoimmune vasculutis, esp if you’ve had a stroke like episode.
