Just wondering if anyone can help me, i was admitted to hospital this week with an unexplained sudden tremor in my hands and arms, I have had several blood tests all negative but have been told they are now doing an autoimmune screening for lupus as I was already having investigations for joint pain, swelling and stiffness in my hands and a rash on my chest, although I haven’t got a facial rash.
I already have hypothyroidism, diabetes and syjrogens syndrome... is it likely that I could have Lupus. I know I should just wait but it drive me mad....
It can take a while to rule in/rule out Lupus unfortunately. Not everyone with Lupus gets a Malar rash. An ANA blood test is the usual one for Lupus. With you already having a range of autoimmune conditions it's good they are checking you for Lupus. My experience was they completely missed SLE for a long time despite having more than 4 symptoms and a clutch of AI conditions. Hope you get some results soon and they can sort out the right treatment for you.
Sounds like lupus could even be lyme?
