Hello;I am a 49 year old white female who has been seriously ill for most of my life. First, when I was 19, I was diagnosed with Sle, and Raynaud s. Then when I was 23, I had a perforated ulcer, and got peritonitis from that, and almost died. After that came about 7 more stomach surgeries for adhesions, exploratory, etc. Then, in 1999, a nurse gave me compartment syndrome, and I developed gangrene, had 15 surgeries in five days, almost died a few times, and was in the hospital. Then they said I also had vasculitis, and moved to Wisconsin because I had a pic line, and needed meds and my mother was the only one to be able to do this. Since that time, I have been in 2 comas, had a heart attack, been septic twice, had to have a knee replaced, and five years ago, I was in the hospital for seven months. I have also been diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome, sjogren s syndrome, and just two months ago, was diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency. Last week, I went to see my Gastro. Dr. because I ve been having severe stomach pains, and swelling in my stomach, so she ordered a cat scan that showed a 7.2 mm cyst on my left kidney. I m concerned because of the Lupus. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you
