Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi! You should go to a rhuematologist to be tested and examined. Of course a rhuemy with FM experience would be ideal since you can have a high ANA but not have Lupus. Good luck, Chloe > > How do you know you've just got FM and not Lupus? I've felt like i've been getting progressivly worse over time, and this latest flare has felt very different to my usual FM flares. I've had kidney involvment, sore glands, very painful feet, stomach pain...nausea and cramping etc...and i've also had quite a lot of agitation and nervousnes which i don't usually have. Oh, and my lungs have bad aswell. > Does anyone have any advice? > deb > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
