@hunterhadley03 hello, did you end up getting answers?

I was on here looking up lupus because I think I might have a mild version of it and found your thread.

I wanted to mentioned that a lot of your symptoms are similar to what I initially had (minus the low blood count, mine was high, and the blue fingers, which is typically a symptom of a connective tissue disease from what I’ve read)

I was initially diagnosed with celiac disease. Did they run the TGA test for you? I didn’t seem to see that mentioned in your tests above.

Autoimmune diseases typically run in pairs. Which is why I think I might have a mild version of lupus and am always researching.

That being said reading what you said above my thoughts for you is you might benefit from a gluten free diet. Multiple autoimmune disease symptoms subside on a gluten free diet.

It was wild to me when I finally got a diagnosis that after three days of going gluten free I was confident they had finally figured out what my issue was.

Good luck! Don’t be scared! (It’s better to have answers and a solution than to be sick all the time). You’ll get to the bottom of it and once you do a lot of your symptoms should go away!

@binkcheeks
Living with lupus, celiac disease, psoriasis, and adrenal insufficiency means you never quite know which condition to watch out for first.
Often, they trigger one another or flare simultaneously. For this reason, I summarized the main categories of autoimmune diseases.
