Does The Warm Sensation In Foot Related To Lupus?

I am a 42 year old female, mother of three great children - all very involved in sports and I work full time as program coordinator at a university - life is very hectic, but good.For the past 4.5 weeks I have been fighting a bug-probably influenza. After a week of coughing I was coughing blood ,I suppose irritation of the lining. I went to a clinic and the Dr put me on avelox. I finished that and began an eye infection in both eyes, back to clinic and on antibiotic drops, just finised that last night. Last week my tounge had sores on one side. That has abated. SO big pictue, I ve been run-down. What is weird is that for the past 4 weeks I have been getting a weird warm sensation on the right side of my right foot that just lasts for seconds - no pain or tingling, just a warm feeling. Yesterday I noticed my left hand was very white and my right hand was deep bluish purple - especially the palms. It only lasted a couple of minutes. I tested positive for psoriatic arthritis and SLE in 2004. I was on methotrexate for 5 years and have been off of it since 2009 as I was in remition. Does this sound like I am having a flare up? Does the warm sensation in my foot have anything to do with lupus? I don t see my rhumatologist until June, I m wondering if this is serious enough to try and get in quicker. Thanks for your time and input. Anne

Dear Madam
Your current illness may have flared your LUPUS.
You would need to see your Rheumatologist as early as possible.
The signs on your hands and feet definitely seem like a flare up of your silent disease.
