Oh no! I knew this was serious when she told me her symptoms yesterday... I made her promise me she was going to the hospital today if she was not better... Poor baby, I hope it is not Lupus, and she gets better soon!!
Aside from her cold symptoms, shortness of breath that on the last day increased into full on difficulty of breathing, dizziness/almost passing out, rapid heart beating, nausea, chest/abdominal pain... The ones I was mostly concerned were shortness of breath, rapid heart beats, dizziness and possible chest pain (could be abdominal too, hard to know).Originally Posted by elayman

What were the symptoms ? Lupus I thought was a very similar illness to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, RA, Lyme, etc...Certainly hoping it is nothing that has that kind of a serious and disabling effect on her life !
Interesting...I'm assuming the Lupus concern because of the inflammatory markers. I hope they did a CBC because those could be anemia symptoms. Get better Alison!Originally Posted by Carolina

The blood test showed a lot of inflammation... She does have a slight case of pericarditis, but the doctors thing the inflammation there is not enough to justify the #s on the blood test. They think she might have something going on on her GI tract...Originally Posted by kluchetta
