Default i feel like my bodya attacking itself but i dont know? could this be lupus or somethi - 04-20-2009, 12:17 AM

okay so every morning i wake up, my body kills me like I'm waking up from a hangover, as the day goes on my stomach feels bl eh, and at some point in the day i get this pain everywhere in my body, its in my muscles, a headache and feels like i have the flu and like I'm on fire, it goes on like this for a good half hour then all of a sudden disappears, it did it today too but hasn't gone away completely, it feels like my chest kinda hurts but I'm sure its fine, sometimes i get really faint feeling and weak and its horrible. my only other theory was low cortisol levels since I'm so tired and it deals with inflammation, blood test cam back with high c protein, which means inflammation, it basically feels everywhere in my body and i think it blurs my vision a little too and i feel weird like i cant feel my body.... whats going on? it feels like i get a fever and like I'm sick but i dint think there is a fever at all.... like flu aches too but no flu
i do have sever psoriasis too

Being a fever is a class idea

yes it sounds like it could be lupus or another autoimmune disease.

It sounds like Fibromyalgia. Although there are no blood tests for FMS, a neurologist can do a sensitivity test. I have it and with the symptoms you describe (all over your body), it's likely you do also. I tried Lyrica which is prescribed for FMS, but the side effects sucked. Be aware though, a lot of doctors don't believe in Fibromyalgia. If your Dr doesn't don't hesitate to see another one. The link below gives you symptoms, a quiz etc. Feel better!!

How is your blood sugar? A high CRP can be caused by diabetes. So can your other symptoms.

Some of your symptoms could be consistent with lupus, but they also match about a hundred other disorders. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease. You may have other autoimmune conditions. Be patient. It takes time to make this kind of diagnosis.
