Q: increasing migraines and painful joints

ok well little back ground. I am 28. Was told few years ago i have autoimmune disease, unsure of what. I have diabetes , and just bad health period.
I have had a positive then negative lupus test in past. I have severe migrains, painful joints. Espescially my knees and arms and hands and fingers.
I wonder if this sounds like possible lupus? I go back to dr on Sept9th and she said we are setting up appointments with rhematologist and endocrinologist and get to bottom of things since pain is getting so much more severe. It seems to that the colder weather makes me hurt even worse. I also bruise extremelly easy! And i have bipolar disorder.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have lupus (SLE) since 2001 and migraines since 1994. The 2 are painful. Ask your doctor about Topax for mimgraines, but it may not work with your other health issues. Topax is a maintenace drug. Good luck to you!
