I have had 2 spinal fusions (t6 to l3) & (t3 to t6)
I am 8 months post second surgery and am having way too many problems. I have filed for social security disability and was sent to one of their docs. He asked me why I didn't tell him that I also had Lupus. I didn't even know what Lupus was so I looked it up. And I have 90% of the symptoms. I thought all my problems were a result of my surgery and now I'm finding out that the problems may have been brought on by the surgery but are caused by something else. Possible Lupus. Tell me what you think?
Symptoms: chronic fatigue, chronic pain and swelling of joints, severe arthritis, frequesnt cold sores, skin rashes (mine is known as butterfly mask) hair loss, migrane headaches, chest pains, low blood count, trouble thinking straight, anxiety, depression, manic behaviors, trouble sleeping, bruises of unknown origin, anemia, dizziness, clumsiness, and unsteadiness.
I thought all of these symptoms were surgery related or medication related, but it seems as if there may be something else.
Anyone else know of any connection between the 2 diseases or Fibromyalgia?
