Do I have Lupus? (I don’t think I’ve ever been tested)?

BickBingBeck asked:


I have been sick for about five years or so. I started becoming depressed/have eating issues/sleep issues when I was fourteen and moved from the city to a boarding school. I had digestion issues when I was a kid but generally I was pretty healthy. By the time I was sixteen I had curbed my problems with food but suddenly became sensitive to meat. I would randomly get fevers and strange pains in my body. I never felt “normal.” After I got mono last year & a couple bouts of tonsilitus everyone thinks my problem is related to candida yeast or CFS. Throughout this time between fourteen and twenty I have had extreem fatigue. If I participated in a sport for an hour or more I would need to rest for two days. My medical history is complicated including possible endometriocys (sp?). I am fatigued, I am sore, I am on a special diet for candida, and I still feel like my head is in a fog. I have no energy, I have random hot flashes. what int he hell coudl I have? (I’ve been to many doctors)
My Mom has been tested for celiacs disease and has been tested negative. I eat very well actually. In fact I am on a sugar free all organic, whole food diet. My Mom and I have very similar symptoms. She started getting sick when she was 20, after getting into a car accident with my Dad (at the time). Even though I have not been in an accident I have had other physical traumas, and yet even where we find most of the same pains is similar.
I also had mono almost an entire two years ago, I thought this was residual effects but it shouldn’t be for an entire year+!? I go through stages where I’m not as bad, but that’s when I force myself to go to bed every night @ 10 pm, even on weekends. If I drink I get way more sick. So obviously I don’t. However, it’s hard to be 20 and feel like crap.
