    About Me

    I am 28 yr old married mother of three.A paramedic at a busy vel one trauma center. I have been suffering with wide spread symptoms that I never thought were related until recently. I am waiting to hear back from my doctor if I have lupus. After tons of research on my symptoms my gut is telling me that I do. I need help!!!! For as long as I can remember I've been plauged with severe joint, and muscle pain, fatigue which seems to be getting worse, alopecia, severe itching, especially after a shower, headaches, and occasional fevers, rashes that seem to come and go as they please, and depression. I have been diagnosed with hypertension since I was 18 y/o. Shortly after hypokalemia, and SVT. UPDATE: I finally have a diagnosis. I have Lupus. I ave mixed feelings but glad to know it's not all in my head as some physicians suggested.

    Interests

    Singing, writing erotica, and poetry, having a good time with my children when I can. Enjoying everyday with my husband.

    • Close Lupus

      For the past ten years I've had this weird constellation of symptoms. None of which were severe, and they all seemed to happen at different times. First, my hair started falling out. Second, I was severely fatogued, And so on and so forth. About three months ago the symptoms all started to happen together and they were more severe than ever before. Finally my doctor and I considered that these symptoms could be related. My Primary sent me to a rheumy and I was diagnosed 1 month ago.
