could i have lupus? i have suffered with clinical depression since i was 18 (now 36). My most recent bout started september following a miscarriage. I felt physically poorly for month, very cold, unable to warm up, extremely sleepy and weight gain, i had my thyroid checked in october apparently all ok. For the last 2 months i have had terrible arm ache, my lower forearms and upper arms ache so much as if i have been wallpapering the ceiling. I cannot comb my hair without the heavy ache taking over. I am physically exhausted, have had to stop work from sheer exhaustion. the doctor thinks it is depression.
I have also had a red rash across my cheeks since october- which doesnt go. I did mention this to the doctors in october but nothing was said.
So i googled the rash and i am pretty sure it looks like the lupus rash but not as clustered.
i had a full blood test last week and everything ok.
should i mention lupus or just be quiet?
