Note: According to the American Rheumatoid Association, four of the following eight symptoms must be present for a diagnosis of lupus: ANA antibodies in the blood, low white blood cell or platelet count or hemolytic anemia, joint pain in a number of joints (arthritis), butterfly rash on cheeks, abnormal cells in the urine, light sensitivity, mouth sores, and seizure or psychosis.

Cause
Food allergies (there is a 100 percent correlation between lupus and food allergies), rheumatoid arthritis, other connective tissue diseases, parasites, candidiasis, bowel problems, and digestive enzyme deficiencies can create symptoms that mimic or exacerbate SLE. Migraines, epilepsy, and psychoses must also be ruled out before a proper course of treatment can be decided upon.

Wow, I am allergic to a lot of things. LOL, when I start sneezing I don't stop with one or two, I have to sneeze about 20 times. It is worse now that the air in Texas is so bad. (THANK YOU MISTER BUSH, you just might have caused my illiness with the grandfather law). Jenny, I have diabetes on top of everything else.
