Reading yalls stories regarding the problems yall had, reminded me that at the same time I was dxd with Lupus, I was dxd with Severe Fibromyalgia as well. I was in my late 20s at that time. Soon after, I applied for disability because I was in such pain, and had so many problems with not only getting my medication to the correct cocktail, I couldn't work in my same career anymore. I am a Phlebotomist, and I really miss doing that.

I had to had my gallbladder out at around age 28, I’m 43 now. They said it was inflamed and not functioning well. I started having attacks. Have had very high liver enzymes with it. I feel like for me it was part autoimmune and part lifestyle. They never found gallstones. The way I was eating was triggering it. Boy, I had an ice cream phase that got me in the ER. I was eating a lot of fatty foods.

Yes, I had to have mine removed, also had parathyroidectamy, and cervical cancer as well! Oh, and kidney stones as well as fatty liver😞

Hugs to you. Thank you for your insight. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who had similar issues with Lupus affecting internal organs.
I just remembered that right around the same time I was dx'd with Lupus, is when I was dx'd with the problem with my eyes. Something that my Neuro-Opthamologist said that I had some scarring on the backs of my eyes..
