I am restarting this thread here. Think I put it in wrong area first time.:
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/mouth, limited ear wax & very little oil production on my hands as evident by my inability to pick up most ANYTHING with out first moistening my fingers on a towel (can't lick them b/c of limited sputum/spittle production).
Damage to organs is serious & 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:
