Wow, this is great -- thanks, Maria. I'm so glad that you're doing well on the medication.
Isn't higher blood pressure when you're in pain normal? I normally have pretty low blood pressure (normally 80-90/50-60) but I've noticed that when I'm having a bad day that it gets a lot higher. I just figured it was like the stress of pain or something. (Yeah ... my scientific rationale.)
Do you have frequent fevers? I never really take my temperature, but when I do it's normal. I think that this is one of the most common lupus signs so I'm hoping maybe this rules it out for me.
Thanks for the lab test website! This is really helpful. When I get a hard copy of the blood tests I'll have to go back and check it out.
