Hi! I hope this post is okay in the group.

Basically two years ago I had a tongue biopsie (I have crohns disease and I get bad mouth ulcers). I saw a few specialists and one of the was extremely concerned with Lupus. He wanted to do more biopsies but I was pretty traumatized by the first one and refused.

Two years have passed, I am finally seeing more specialists who will test me for lupus as it is suspected. I have crohns disease and I have trouble knowing what could be caused by crohns and what could potentially be lupus or who knows something else.... So my question is, anyone relate to the following symptoms? Are they common with YOUR expression of your lupus? These are my symptoms :

-intense joint pain -intense back pain -soreness -puffy fingers / wrists -extreme fatigue -increase in peeing and peeing 2-3 times a nignt -constant fevers -weakness -sleep problems (wake up a lot or sleep too much) -mouth ulcers -rashes on wrists, eyes, face -bruising a lot without healing -fevers after any effort that is more than usual -anytime i go in the sun even if sunscreen protected and hat etc I get baaaaaaaad heat exhaustion and I get very very sick ... Can't do sun like AT ALL

That's from the top of my head! Any insight appreciated! Also, what testing should I expect???
