I have been having the same syptoms (symptoms) contact your neurologist

thank you what did they tell you ?

the symptoms you describe arent what you would call "classic" lupus symptoms. lupus would normally cause your immune system to attack your heart, lungs, skin, joints and brain. it wouldnt account for the weight gain, swelling or aspirin sensitivity. if it really worries ask your doctor to test your blood for ANA. hope this helps, take care
