A while back someone mentioned that the symptoms of my mysterious illness sounded like lupus and with research I had to agree. Almost every single symptom possible I was experiencing. Plus, my grandpa has an autoimmune disease so I am genetically more susceptible to having one. I haven’t been too sick for a few months now but I am suddenly sick again and experiencing the worst pain in my back and leg than I have ever had before. My mom says I’m being dramatic and there’s no way I have lupus because I haven’t been sick in a few months. Is this true? Or can lupus seem to disappear for a while?
Lupus does go through quieter spells between flares, sometimes into remission, symptoms ease. My mum had Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia and it was a similar pattern.
Thank you for your reply!
lupus never goes away, it only lies dormant in the body for a while until some external triggers it. To make sure that whether or not you have lupus, ask your doctor for help. But the diagnosis seems to be hard. Also, there're some autoimmune diseases confused with lupus
