I have a GP appointment this week. I have been a few times with these symptoms over the years, but bloods always come back normal and it falls by the wayside. This time I'm determined to push for a diagnosis.

The symptoms all started after a nasty viral infection 8 years ago. Grateful for any opinions.

-Bloating
-Extreme fatigue (Want to nap every day despite 10hrs of overnight sleep)
-Mouth ulcers
-Under jaw pain
-Joint pain
-Guttate psoriasis skin rash
-Papilloma in throat
-Petechial rash on legs
-Sun sensitivity
-Bruise easily
-Very flexible joints

Thanks in advance.

Some of that sounds like symptoms of Lupus.

Please make sure you push for a gynae appt with bloating, fatigue and bruising. Make sure the GP listens. Not saying that it is anything sinister but could be signs of ovarian cancer (which I have). Get it checked.

@Pieceofpurplesky sorry to hear that. I've had two children in recent years and they always scan the ovaries then. I also had a pelvic US due to irrelegular bleeding (which has since settled and I'm hoping was hormonal). I'll certainly keep an eye on any other symptoms that develop though and keep that in mind. Hope you recover ❤
