Thank you Professor Nicolson for taking the time to answer our questions.

I have lupus and fibromyalgia.  For the past 3+ months I have had a chronic dry cough w/ sore throat 3+ years (puss pockets and occasionally a strange odor from throat). The cough seems to come from my lungs w/ discomfort.  I don't know if this is related to the cough, but when I am stressed out, I get clusters of bruises on my arms.  (a circle of 5 or 6 small bruises)  I also have tenderness in the right upper quadrant (cholecystectomy in 07), with occasional severe cramping, nauseating symptoms.  

I am currently on plaquinel, nexium 2x/daily, and astepro nasal spray.  I also take tylenol arthritis for pain.  

What could possibly be going on?
