I may have posted this before, but am now reading symptoms of Lupus with new "eyes". BEFORE now, I wanted to disregard any symptoms, but my s/o is insisting I review them and talk to my PCP to get her to refer me to a Rheumatologist. The more I read up, the more I see symptoms that I really DO have.
One of the things mentioned is that Sjogrens is linked to Lupus. I have dry eyes, dry mouth, limited ear wax production and even very little oil production on my hands as evident by my inability to pick up most ANYTHING with out first moistening my fingers (can't lick them b/c of limited sputum/spittle production).
Damage to organs is serious and I already know that I am experiencing heart rhythm problems. Kidneys damaged can cause frothy urine (which I do not have, but am sharing in case anyone else has this).
Lupus can, eventually (and does) cause organ shut-down. Another thing I wanted to share with everyone.
If anyone can share links here, I would be grateful. Here is one:
