I can understand what your going through! I am 33 years old. Have 4 children. I am very healthy, don't smoke, drink, etc.. In shape. Have had some health problems for about 4 years now on and off. Have had 2 episodes that seemed like strokes, however dr's can't say whether it was migraine variants or tia (mini-stroke). Tingling and pins & needles feeling in hands and feet. Hands and feet get very cold. Sometimes just one hand, or just one foot. Really weird when you can tell a temp. Change between your hands or feet! Tired, muscle aches- mostly in hands. My fingers and hands ache alot. Sometimes knees, elbows, legs, feet hurt as well. Have a positive ana. Have a rash on nose and cheeks that comes and goes. Have recently noticed my hair is falling out! Auto-immune disorders run in my family. Sister has lupus, scleraderma, sjogren's, and more. Mom has ra, and oseoarthritis. Haven't been in over a year to my rheumatologist, however I am going in a week. It is very frustrating not knowing what is going on. Hope you get some answers! Sorry I don't have any advice, just thought i'd share my symptoms..... Good luck.

I was relieved to hear someone else is having tingling in hands (i'm not crazy!). Mine just started a week ago .I used to get migraines as a kid ,so I thought that was the reason for the tingling but there has not been any headaches with it. Either of my hands get cold and tingle, also around my mouth and a little on the nose. So weird!
I've been frustrated for 18 months! I've had to quit work as I was a sales rep as driving became dangerous due to fatigue and lack of concentration(had several accidents).Then I started having all kinds of symptoms- headaches (behind my eyes), loss of 20 lbs.,night sweats, memory problems,word finding problems,lack of concentration,joint pain(hips,back,neck,knees),itchy skin,arm rashes,nausea, morning stiffness,dizziness, seizures. Neg-ana,mild pos. Igm, low complement c3 c4.
Has anyone had the same symptoms? Doc is hesitant to diagnose lupus because of neg. Ana but I think it is any comments appreciated!!!!

If you do have lupus sometimes in your life, be sure to see lot of specialists doctors. My mom have lupus flares up during her menopause without knowing her family history having lupus. She has late onset lupus, as they call it. During menopause, that's when your hormone depleted. That's when you are most vunerable since your body immune system attack your body. Most obgyn doctors do not know much about lupus and they think it's normal to go thru menopause and they can't detected early. So one thing lead to another, she has kidney, so she went to see kidney specialist, cardiologist, eyes doctor, urologist. One of her eyes retina has been damaged due to steroid medications, if discover early, then it can be treated. It's a hole in the retina. She did colonscopy for hemroid, endoscopic for esophagus inflamation due to the heavy medication , steroids. So be sure to see a lot of doctors and specialists. If you don't agree one doctor, go see another one for 2nd opinions. It doesn't hurt to give a try. Be sure to have good health insurance and life insurance too.
