27m - Curious about symtoms
Hello! For many years now I've gotten chilblains on my hands and feet whenever in winter or a cold period. Though it seems now my skin is begging to rash elsewhere. I have a minor rash on my face at all times, but it isn't too significant. It does flare up a little if I spend time in the sun, but only becomes a little more noticeable.
Admittedly, I'm only looking into this because I googled chilblains and eventually came across potential signs of lupus.
A few years ago I went to a doctor about my issues, I had a blood test and he stated that nothing in my blood test was alarming, and that I had something (i dont remember exactly what it was) in my blood that has an extremely low correlation with autoimmune disease. He suggested I see a rhumatologist regardless. However, the rhumatologist was too expensive for me, and I didn't bother 😅
I also get lots of mouth and nose ulcers, I'm underweight, I get muscle pains, and ive had chest pain in two aspects. One is random and instant paim but very mild. The other issue is I can't take deep breaths when I wake up, it's usually OK once I'm sitting up, but if I try to take a deep breath while laying down it will hurt a lot.
As bad as it may be, all of this has been happening for like 10 years and I've just neglected dealing with it. But my rashes and skin condition seem to be worsening over time.
