One of the features of lupus can be a a red circular rash that becomes scaly. larual2002 larual2002@...> wrote: Hi Everyone, I have been so sick for about 3 weeks now....mostly just exhausted, chills/fever and left sided flank and abdominal pain. My family dr hospitalized me for 3 days to run testing..colonoscopy, ct and upper gi series along with mega antibodics. scope was fine. ct they weren't sure so they order upper gi. i see the dr on weds to get the results of gi series, but she said she would call if there was anything. was sent home with 2 different antibiotics; one twice a day and the other 3 a day.......still not feeling well. same old same old. felt okay in the hospital; other than the pressure pain. starting to wonder if it isn't mito flaring up. feel okay upon waking but as i move around i just really poop out!!!!! oh the upper gi only took 30 minutes because it moved into the colon so quick. i saw a mito specialist 6 weeks ago, was to hear back in 3 weeks, but they told me last week that they are just " insanely busy " !! would be nice to know if mito was ruled in or out! My family dr isn't familiar with mito and has been waitin for correspondence from genetic clinic. Anyways, i noticed small red circles of rashes last week on my chest...now they are no longer red but scaly like dry skin but lotion does not help them go away...any thoughts??? i remember the nurse at the genetic clinic looking at white spots i have and telling me that it is not mito related, but these are new and look different. Does anyone know what the mito related rash look like? thanks for any help or imput. i am just feeling so miserable and just want answers.
