Thought I had Lupus

[Meegan39]

I've been experiencing extreme fatigue, swelling, painful joints and muscles for many years now.  I recently saw  new P.A. for a routine exam and mentioned these ongoing complaints.  She did some blood work and informed me I tested low positive for something that could indicate Lupus.  She did more blood work, and just told me the Lupus test was negative, but my SED rate was elevated at 27.  I've had these and other complaints for almost 20 years now.  I've been diagnosed with Depression and I take meds for that.  I'm just sooooo tired and sore, what do I do now?

exercise moving helps with stiffness and pain and take glucosimine for your joints lots of water and do masssage to rid your body of toxins, what about lyme disease were you tested for that?

Hi..I tested a low positive for lupus as well and later found I  had Ehlers-Danlos....I was told it could account for the painful joints, swelling...I also bruise easy and am slow to heal.
It is associated with autoimune issues ...u may also want to check for Hashimoto's thyroiditis another autoimmune issue.

Good luck
