I am a 30y-old woman, and I have been having strange symptoms for 4 years, starting with a tingling, itching sensation all over the right side of my body. An itch, which increases when pressure is applied, runs straight from the base of my skull to my hip, just right of my spinal column. I also have decreased/altered sensation, again on the right side, including scalp, face, arm, neck, lower back, leg, breast and genitals. The left side is normal. MS/brain tumors have been effectively ruled out with MRIs and EPTs (vis/aud), as have Lyme's, stroke, and all blood tests have been normal (although I don't know what was tested for). I have been doing quite well with these symptoms, but have begun to get worried again. Last week, I felt a strong pressure in the right side of my head, like fluid moving behind (not in) my right nasal cavity, and an itcy sensation running in a line from my nose to a point on the right side of the back of my skull. This lasted off and on for about 4 days. Also, I have just developed rosacea and have occassional random red patches on my face that are flaky the day after they appear (separate from the rosacea). Today, they are symmetrical, with small (quarter-sized) patches high on my cheek bones and the sides of my nose and chin. Because of the redness, I want to talk to my doctor about the possibility of lupus, but I don't have any of the most commonly known symptoms. Is it possible that the ones I have are related to lupus? Should I bring this with him? I would appreciate any comments. Thanks.
