Do Exhaustion And Swelling In The Ankles Indicate Lupus?

I think I might have lupus I have all the symptoms and my blood levels are elevated. I am exsausted all the time and I wake up at night 4 or more times. My ankles swell to look like I have three ankles my joints hurt. My hands and feet fall asleep all the time. I have chest pain periodically and right upper gastric pain. I ve seen a doctor but they don t seem to understand and are not addressing the issues.

I think you should not assume these symptoms as lupus. The symptom complex you are referring to seem more of anxiety than some medical condition. So you need to take Tab. xanax 0.25mg one at night. Also take Tab. escitalopram 5mg after breakfast. Take both meds for 1 month and then followup with me
