Starting from the beginning - Before I was Diagnosed

July 2009- Sick Nausea/Dizzy for a week-went to Doctor- Blood test done-nothing wrong
August 2009- out of breath climbing small flight of stairs, never felt before, went to doctor had stress test at Cardiologist-all ok, took X-rays of lungs-all okay, Blood Anemia-all okay, Thyroid checked-okay, cholesterol-ok at 150 very good, said I had a low immune system doctor checking why
September 2009-more blood- went to see Specialist Rheumatologist- said I have an autoimmune disease-Lupus SLE- ANA test positive- only Good News, all organs are OK

December 2009 Prescribed Naproxen 500 mg 2 per day for joint pain felt all over legs, hands, fingers, shoulder, upper and lower back. I also had my eyes tested and dilated for a baseline on my current eye status to start taking Plaquenil January 2010. I went to get the H1n1 Swine flu shot-6 hours later I got a really high fever, faint, nausea,but later felt better. I drank lots of water. I woke up with a sudden pain on my back shoulder blade on my right side, put an ice pack, took Naproxen and felt sore the next day. I started getting warm sensations in my shoulders and upper back, had neck pain, rapid heartbeat and dry cough. I just slept all day. For the rest of the month, I had sore joints and felt really tired and had no energy.
