New symptoms in the last few months

I have been having breathing problems (like after you cry, you breath heavy), well I get that out of nowhere lately and not crying. I also have been having headaches, and acid reflux (not sure on spelling) most every day. Would this have anything to do with my Lupus. (I just got over losing all my muscles in my body, they diagnosed it as Myositis, which could be related to Lupus not yet determined, doctors are baffled, but I am currently on Prednisone and Methotrexate. I am finally off of a walker and cane and walking great again, but other symtoms have been popping up and worrying me. Please advise.

Im nearly 50 years old. I've had lupus since 1989 after the birth of my son. I too get that pain on right side of ribs, can't get a deep at times and now walking is nearly impossible. About three yrs. Ago in the winter I get extreme nerve pain all over my body. I can't even take shower because the water hitting my skin is unbearable. At times even the wind is also unbearable

I am 27 and was diagnosed with lupus over a year ago. I have a hard time looking at things that have to do with lupus because i get paranoid. I also have theese same symptoms among others, new and old that Really scare me. I was told by my Dr. that i would just have alot of pain for the rest of my life and it probably wont get worse and it has. So maybe they are related. I also didn't know that chest pains were a part of lupus until looking on here. like i said i get freaked out so i never used to look up anything, but just since having theese same new symptoms and others i need to face it and learn how to fight it insted of ignoring it..thats what I've been doing
