Do Arthritis Or Lupus Affect Memory, Urination, Digestion Or Sex Drive?

Hi there is a family history of underactove thyroid and autoimmune disease in my family. I have a lot of symptoms that match but my thyroid test was normal but my blood viscosity is not, am no being tested for arthritis or lupus but do either of these affect tiredness, memory, urination, digestion or your sex drive please? I am 33years old, 5ft 6inches and have recently increased my weight dramatically to 14 stone for no reason.

Good evening. All these symptoms are very general and can be seen with lot of conditions. Lupus is an autoimmune disease which can affect multiple organs and it can affect your memory. It can also cause fatigue and bowel disturbances. Your sex drive is low due to all the fatigue. But if your lupus tests are also negative, i had suggest you follow up with a rheumatologist. All these conditions are very common in Fibromyalgia as well. Hope the information was useful

Hi! I appreciate your health awareness drive.
Tiredness , Memory,Urination, digestion & Sex Drive related disorders caused by so many Factors as well as Autoimmune diseases. BUT nowadays Nutritional Disorder is In Top due to Lifestyle concerns, Stress etc. Vitamin B 12 deficiency is should be also taken in Mind.
In my Opinion your probable diagnosis is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
