I seem to have symptoms that mimic lupus. My doctor told me I tested positive for lupus and scleroderma a few years ago. A rheumatologist said no. I have joint pain everywhere, edema (I think) in my left hand and arm, my hair started rapidly thinning about 6 years ago, my eyebrows thinned, I have acid reflux and hiatal hernia, I am so tired in the afternoon that I can t resist a nap. I don t know if it affects the bel, but I have to take linzess everyday or I cannot have a bowel movement.
