Suggest Treatment For Weakness And Tingling Sensation In The Arm
I have been diagnosed with lupus but concerned as my symptoms dont seem fall into that category. I mainly have arm pain weakness and tingling, severe fatigue, confusion, bladder problems. My flares are unpredictable and can be from every month to once a year and they normally last a few weeks and for that time i am severely impacted with pleurisy joint pain limited movement and a few other things. I guess im confused that my symptoms dont fit what other lupus patients have. I am going for a 2nd opinion next week but concerned i will just get the same diagnosis.
