Weekly Suspected Lupus Thread - Week Of February 19, 2023

malar rash?

I just had a positive ANA. Homogeneous.

My mom is formally diagnosed with Lupus. She 3/6 of her siblings have autoimmune disorder and my grandma.

I’ve had intermittent tachycardia, high blood pressure, and major menstrual irregularity’s. I’ve also had several flares of joint paint and panic attacks. All of these symptoms show up together and will last nearly a year and then just disappear. Started 6 years ago when I was 20.

I attached a link with a picture of my face. I am constantly broken out blotchy and red. Almost nearly on cheeks and across my nose. Sometimes on chest arms and legs as well but it comes and goes. Could these symptoms be Lupus. I haven’t been able to talk to my doctor yet my blood work came in to me over the weekend.
