Lupus in children can cause significant medical and psychosocial complications, resulting in frequent physician visits for routine, urgent or emergent care, reduce physical activity, changes in body image, anxiety over the future, side effects from treatments, and extended absences from school. All of these complications are disruptive to the children as well as to their parents and have a great impact on everyday living. Dr. Lakshmi Nandini Moorthy is Chief of Pediatric Rheumatology at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Dr. Moorthy has develop a tool to measure the health related quality of life (HRQOL) among children with lupus. The tool is used to determine the impact that lupus is having on the lives of both children with lupus and their parents so adjustments can be made in all aspects of therapy, including psychological interventions. During the Ninth International Congress on Lupus in Vancouver, British Columbia in June 2010, Dr. Moorthy presented data on the use of a tool she developed to measure the HRQOL in children with lupus called SMILEY (Simple Measure of Impact of Lupus Erythematosus in Youngsters). In this video, Dr. Moorthly discusses the impact of lupus on children and how the tool is being used in clinical practice to evaluate and monitor patients.

The fingertips of my right hand are swollen, even turning purplish yesterday. My left hand is fine – no change. And my feet aren’t swelling, either. Just the finger tips of my right hand.
Or it might be scleroderma.

My symptoms have been occurring randomly for a year or so, some longer than others:

Hematuria (at first visible, now only detectable by urinalysis)
Proteinuria
Random bruising with petechiae
Urticaria
My face and ears will randomly become fevered
Chronic sinusitis
swollen lymphnodes
Blood and mucus in stool
joint pain after being in a position for long periods of time
night sweats
low grade fever occasionally

…I am a 22 year old female, and the only other health issues are Polycystic Ovarian Disease and ADHD (which is a recent Dx and could actually be the "lupus fog")

I am on adderall 10mg per day, which the symptoms were present before the medicine.

My CBC is always fine. I am not anemic, however my new PCP recently ordered an ANA which came back positive with a titer of 1:40 which isn’t extremely high and also a Lupus Anticoagulant which I am still waiting on the results for. My TSH levels always come back euthyroid, and I do not have hemorrhoids.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced these symptoms with Lupus?

Thanks in advance!
