Could The Symptoms Of Headache, Fatigue And Swelling In Fingers Be Due To Lupus?
I am very nervous. I have an appointment next month with a rheumatologist. Here are my symptoms: headaches daily, fatigue, purple toes that are very painful, swelling in the fingers and occasional purple knuckles. My family doctor mentioned lupus. Thoughts?
