Hi there.
I read your problem with interest.
I dint quite understand why you feel you have lupus.
If yellowish eyes & transient hives, more likely to be some sort of viral infection induced hepatitis with jaundice.
Best to get yourself to your local GP & run some basic blood & urine tests to try pinpoint the problem. The hives are just that acute urticaria..not lupus. But if you have the fear of lupus, please do add a simple LE test onto that basic blood check.
Do remember to do a complete LFT & test for Hep C/B et al. Cheers & Good Luck, Do let us know when the tests arrive. Online we can at best speculate. Do see your GP on the ground.

Hi there.
Again i reiterate, yellowish hives suggest a jaundiced state & probably some sort of hepatitis that my be obstructive or transient. It may or may not be viral induced..may be drug induced (even certain foods). This again is all speculation going by your history & clinical features described. I have suggested & repeat that basic laboratiry tests need be done by your GP or a laboratory closest to you to give you some pointers on which direction you are headed & to establish the diagnosis. Only after the initial lab work results are due can we hazard a guess as to what may be causing your problems. Do not worry..once the inital lab work is done, the diagnosis & therefore the management & treatment will present itself. Do fix an appt with your GP. Hope am clear & have allayed any fears & doubts.Cheers!

Hi there Dear.
It does not really matter what i think. For the record, it does appear like hepatitis whatever the underlying cause. The ONLY certain way to ascertain is to get those basic blood tests done. For the record, it does not appear to be like classical symptoms of HIV infection. However, If you have any reason to suspect a possible prior exposure to HIV, then like a simple LE test, please do add a simple ELISA for HIV or a PCR-for HIV DNA testing to your routine blood tests as suggested above.
Once again, dear, might i suggest closing this query & getting on & doing those blood tests..believe me it will give you closure of sorts & is the practical approach to ensure you recover from your current malady & get better soon. Too much dwelling on the possibilities will get you sick worried...would do to anybody..so do perk up, chin up & go get those tests done. Ciao.
