Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hi a Thanks for all this great info. So far, though, I don't fit any of this criteria. That is the mystery. I am not on any drugs except occasional tylenol for my autoimmune disease as I react badly to most medications and stay away from them unless it is totally necessary. I do have lung complications that now, after all these years, I am guessing were caused by lupus. I take meds for asthma symptoms to be able to breath almost normally most of the time. My primary doc did kidney tests recently and they are all normal. I don't take over the counter vitamins and am very careful with my diet. I guess I will let the next doc I see in a few weeks figure it out. The only thing I am thinking is maybe slow kidney involvement that just hasn't shown up yet. Does anyone else on the forum have diagnosed lupus with this symptom? Again, thanks for your help.
