hello.
I am a 30yr old female and I have been tested for Lupus and all 4 times the counts were over normal. I Have not been treated for Lupus. I took a Lymes disease test, came back as a false positive. I have horrible migraines,tingling in arms, legs, feet, and hands. I get dizzy spells when I wake up until about early noon. I am often confused, very forgetful, and have poor memory loss. I vomit on occation for no reason and have sharp stabbing pain on my lower left rib area. I do break out in cold sweats out of nowhere.I have been diagnosed with Fibromialgia but I don't think thats whats causing all these problems.My hands and feet do swell on occation and go numb. And sometimes it feels like I have needles piercing my legs and hands as well. Overall I never feel like myself. I wake up and go to bed with headaches on a day to day basis and feel sharp little pains in the right back side of my head like a pinch almost. I have had left chest pains plenty of times before but doc's not concerned because I am only 30 year's old. And I have been tested for MS and has been negitive all 5 times. Last but not least the most anoying of them all, extremely sensitive to sunlight,car lights at night and smells. I can't even put hair spray in my hair without getting a instant headache.
The only sure thing I do know, all my test results have in common is high protein levels. If anyone has any info on this be kind and drop a line.

I figured out my own issue I was diagnoised with Syncope Neuro Cardiogenic Syncope, blood pressure problems! Every single symptom that I have pointed right to it all it took was my doc to look at my passed blood pressures ask again what my symptoms were and she referred me to a Cardiologist, I took some blood work, an Echo grame of my heart, a tilt table test{which by the way is the scarist thing I've ever experienced} and there I have it a genetic disease. Still not sure about high protien though,it has nothing to do with Syncope. One thing at a time though im shocked I got this far after 11 years of suffering, I have hope now though thats the difference.

I read that high levels of protein in the blood could indicate that your immune system is being broken down. Doctors typically check for HIV and Hepatitis in people with this condition.

If you have high levels of protein in your blood you may be suffering with a digestive issue. I to suffered with the same symptoms you have and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and a high rheumatoid factor. Five months after being diagnosed almost all of my pain is gone. From the beginning I started taking multi-vitamin with strong b-complex, 2 of 1000mg fish oil capsules, 1200mg of calcium /600mg magnesium, 2000mg of vitamin c, tumeric 1500mg, vitamin e 500mg, and 2000mg of vitamin D. Some of my symptoms improved after a few months. It wasn't until I added 4 digestive enzymes with each meal that the cured most of my problems. If I stop taking the enzymes the pain comes back. You should look into digestive enzymes they might be all you need to be pain free.
