Hi, I don't know where to start. Pls don't be annoyed with me, I just feel as if my life is over. I'm hoping I can get help from here. I've been so scared, depressed and anxious for a few weeks now that it's affecting most aspects of my life. I first, I had a sudden scare that I may have HIV. But after researching, it seems I may have lupus.
Here's what's going on with me:
About a month ago, I had a sudden red "lesion" (for lack of better term) right below my color bone. It was about 1mm and pinkish. It looked like an allergic reaction. Then everyday after that, I notice a few more scattered on my abdominal area and and one on my lower back. These ones were the same color as my skin. These lesions only itched when I touched them and they never hurt. All these lesions came right after an ezcema came on my back. I've had excema before. 2 days after I NOTICED the 1st pink lesion, I had a sharp pain like a thick needle in my right deltoid area. The sharpness subsided a few days later and became a tingling feeling. Next, I began to have tingling feelings in my arms and legs, then mostly in my palms and soles of feet. My palms get very itchy that it turns red. This tingling becomes a little itchy all over, but not a hysterical itch. I get intermitted sensations as if I'm being poked with a needle and I have to rub it because it hurts and itches. This is all over my body including my face, jaw, neck, arms, legs, thighs and chest. All this is within the past month. Now, I feel like something is crawling on me and I have to keep brushing it off. I feel like something is crawling on my head or as if hair is on my face. I also noticed that I keep getting yeast infections. It feels like I always have a yeast infection and now, what seems like cluster headaches. I was scared and my dr. ordered a cbc, tsh, liver and lipid panel. Everything came back normal except my wbc, which in my opinion has significantly gone down from what it was 1.5yrs ago. I have no fever or butterfly rash. Ever since I was a kid, I get a sudden heat wave and an intense itch with frustration or stress, for example, if I'm looking for something and I get frustrated I get hot and start itching for a few seconds. This has been a hot and humid summer in the midwest, so when I step outside, the tingling seems to get a little worse and I get more itchy. Pls let me know if this seems like lupus. I'm not sure if I'm too young to have it (I'm 21 now). I'm just scared that it would be something worse like Hiv. thanks!
