Suggest Treatment For Fibromyalgia And Fever Blisters On The Mouth

I have Fibromyalgia. But lately I m beginni,g to wonder if I have lupus also. I suffer pain constantly but a soon as the sun goes down all my joints begins to ache and swell and my legs feel like I have a second degree burn. And I m constantly fighting fever blisters around my mouth and inside it also. And I ve noticed also if I m out in the sun or if I m really stressed I break out with fever blisters, I m wondering if this could be caused by Lupus? Thank you

hello
There should be immediate consultation with your doctor treating fibromyalgia and he may have to look to whether any medicines prescribed by him arecausing hypersensitivity to sun rays, usually antiarthritic medicines like sulfazalazine, methotrexate and HCQ cause this , any many a times unusual reactions to any medicine is possible.Secondly see a dermatologist also for this symptom.Lupus usually has varied symptoms and can be brought on my sunlight or medicines, but typical features are butterfly erythema on both cheeks, even then, auto immune bloo tests like anti nuclear antibody(ANA), immunoglobin tests etc may be required to rule out lupus.The best option is to consult a rheumatologist.
thanks
