Hi, Im 25 years old, I have suffered from many traumatic events in my lifetime and seek councling for it.  I take adderol for adhd effexor 450mg, chlonopin for anxiety, ovcon for "utirine disfunction"  I bleed all the time.  Last winter I began feeling sick.. run down, exhausted, achy, nausua, headaches, racing heart, the uterine disfunction (bleeding) and the developed a very painful toe. Left foot fourth one down.  It looks like brusing or purple dots accompianed by extreme pain, seems to worsen in the cold.  Few weeks later purple blotches were all over the tops of my toe area.  Finally the foot was better.  A few months later lesion like pimples on my face, it looks like little black heads deep inside in the centers, they are scaring my face.  The first doctor treated it as staph and the next told me it was nerves.  Now the lesions are still there, the toe pain and dots are back and killing me, my feet and hands turn purpilsh colors, ive gotton a rash on my feet ankles and half up my legs since i was little from the sun. Im exhausted, achy, headachy, my glands are always very swollen and i am so very frustrated.  I got results on blood work today, i was tested for 70 different things, including lupus (which seems like a slamdunk) everything coming back negative two test were done on lupus both negative.... My doc is sending me to a rhumatologist... what is going on?  Can it still be lupus?

Sorry forgot to add, in case you don't know, Sjogren's is like a sister disease to Lupus though not as serious, but it does share a lot of the same symptoms. One of the main differences is if you have lupus it will definately show up in your bloodwork, but as I said above, with sjogren's there are a number of people who don't show it in the blood. Just in other tests and in symptoms.

Hi, after 2 years of horror I have just been diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome. I had all your symptoms and a rhematologist finally diagnosed me last month after I broke out in all the little blood blisters in the joints you talk abour, I get them in my knukcles a lot and around my knees. I had the Schirmer eye test which confirmed sjogren's. Do you suffer with drying out at all, especially in your eyes and mouth. Also another important factor here, is my Rhem said that although blood tests for these diseases can confirm them, in Sjogren's particularly there are a number of patients who have it but have negative blood tests, it is confirmed by other tests like the Schirmer's. You should ask your doc about this. As I know for a fact, I never got these blood dots before now and they are definately part of Sjogren's. Hope this helps.

Check into go systemic candidia. I had a lot of bad symptoms and no answers from doctors,tons of tests all negative. When I follow the candidia diet my symptoms go away
and I feel tons better. Check online and see what the symptoms are....see if it fits any of your symptoms. It did mine. If you ask your doctor about it they will tell you it is BS. Go see a naturopathic doctor if your not getting the answers you need.
