lupus

I was diagnosed about four years ago with lupus and I also have rheumatoid arthritis my systems with the lupus is tiredness cant sleep very well at night, but the other symptoms are I can get up in the morning and my left hand side will feel like stone I cant lift my arm or move my leg I walk round like a zombie and it is very painful then the next day it will have traveled to the other side of my body, I also get it in my neck , shoulder and sometimes in my groin. It is a very hard disease to explain and sometimes I think the doctors don't believe me when I tell them what I am suffering with. Is this lupus?

Julie,
Try to find a doctor who deals with Lupus; ask around. There are many who do, it is just a matter of finding one and working with him/her to find out if Lupus is what you are dealing with.
Good Luck!
