What symptoms do your experience? I was recently referred to a rheumatologist and am trying to decipher what may be going on with me, and I believe I may have lupus. I have had several episodes per year for the last several years with seemingly random, unexplained symptoms. They sometimes seem to be triggered by stress but other times it seems completely random. Sometimes I’ll develop pain in EVERY joint that gets worse with movement, accompanied by a feeling of weakness in the joints and pain sensitivity in my joints (ex. Knocking on a door with a standard intensity and being meet with sharp, shooting pain in the knuckles). Other times I’ll have trouble breathing or heart palpitations for a few weeks. These episodes are often accompanied by what I believe is a butterfly/malar rash (though I’m not sure). Since lupus can affect many body symptoms and cause many different symptoms what symptoms do you experience? Additionally do you have any comorbidities (conditions that may be related to or worsen your lupus) accompanied with your lupus?
