Lupus help

[ByFastTiger]

Hi everyone,

about a year ago I was diagnosed with perimenopause as I displaying a lot of common Symtoms. It all started ( noticeable to me anyway) when I was away for a girls weekend in Spain. I lost my appetite and felt very weak in the sun.

I then went another holiday and felt the same way. I also got red areas on my face and I believe I had livedo I think it’s called on legs.

if I’m under any kind of uv light I get a lot of red marks. I also feel flushed across my cheeks and nose but no visable redness that I can see.

also been wakening up with a lot of rib discomfort the only way I can describe it is someone has been hugging me too tight. It the hurts to take a deep breath in. Very random but sometimes when I sneeze I feel chest pain and it almost sort of stops the full sneeze.

sorry I’m not too good at describing things very well lol.

looking too see if anyone has any experience with this?

thank you

Have you been diagnosed with Lupus? Are you on treatment?

Hi, no I have an appointment after the year with my gp to discuss things further. I just don’t want to waste anyone time.

do you have any experience with lupus?

I have lupus. What would you like to know xx

Thank you very much for replying.

I had a 2 sun holidays last year. This is where all my symptoms started ( recently been told I’m going through perimenopause) on holiday I generally felt awful.

sun - fatigue, nausea, weak, loss of appetite, got a red nose area and cheeks

I feel hot across the cheeks and across the nose but no redness to see. Constantly got hives and it’s and coming out in random red areas.

my second holiday went like the first but I was more in the sun, same thing happened. But this time I got livedo on my legs ( only reason I know this is some kind strangers pointed it out) was I. My legs.

constantly fatigue. My muscles ache. Joint pain. Hips are agony during the night sometimes feels impossible to move. Wrists and fingers.

when I’m out in the cold my fingers go very pale from the knuckles and it’s agony.

my newest thing is wakening up with very bad rib pain. Hurts to take a deep breath breath in.

sorry for the lengthly reply i appreciate you replying
