All those bands were circled by my pcp hard to make out what is or isnt important . Funny thing is was I was in remission for a year maybe a little more .Started biaxin for an ear infection around xmas of last year . Then 4th day on it bang flu like symptoms stiff neck etc.. and all symptoms to follow. Didnt even think about a herx. until just now . Wow looks like things got stirred up for sure .Started to feel better only did 10days of the biaxin . Have an appt . with pcp and llmd. to come again . hard to pin if any co's are involved I know the symptons are so overlapping . Had every ra and inflamation panel done . ana's and the rest of the inflamation markers were negative . Consultated with a rheumy. who didnt slap lupus on me surprisingly as its happened a bunch of times malar rash blooms and I get handed literature on prednisone and lupus
Symptoms this time around Mostly , light sensitivity , random tingling facial , blotchy rashes on hands, facial flushing , fullness in ears/along with oceanlike sounds and fluttering noises, helmet like headaches come and go not severe , dizzyness, anxious feelings/panicky .Neck/radiating to shoulder pain , hot itchy ears , all wax and wane,
