The pain, swelling, insomnia, and severe fatigue started last August. At first I thought I was working alot of hours but my joints were really bad. I had a appointment with my doctor for a check up and told him how I was feeling. I get seizures when I don't get enough sleep so he became worried about the insomnia. He ran a bunch of tests. I'm not 100% sure of all the tests he ran. But in a few days he called me that the tests shown that I had Lupus. He put in a referral to the rheumatologist. I went to see him but at the time I wasn't in a flare up. He did a couple more tests on me and came to the conclusion that I had fibermyalgia and not Lupus. At my next appointment about a month ago I was in a flare up and I have taken pictures of my hands and other areas that keep swelling up that's when he came to the conclusion that it was Lupus. He put me on hydroxychloroquine.
