Finally, today in Spanish I had to answer a few questions. I wasn't confident, and could feel myself blushing again. When I got home, I was washing my hands and happened to look in the mirror. The traces of the blush were still there (several hours later).
Then I noticed the shape of the blush. I recognized the Butterfly Flush/Rash.
This rash is a clear symptom of Lupus. Now that I can see it, I've realized I've had it for a while--when I put on foundation, I often note the edges of it, which are the reddest.
So... looks like I have Lupus.

Just wanted to add that it's not only when you're embarrassed. It's been there on and off for about a month.
Eph 3:14-18:
"When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your heart as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."
Oh, hon. *lots of hugs and prayers, which is really inadequate but pretty much all I can do*
Amen to the above comment. I'll be praying for you, and is it all right if I have our church's prayer group pray for you as well?
Thanks everyone.
Kate - That's fine with me. Thank you. :)
I'll be praying for you, too.
Hello Alyssa,
You don't know me, and it is actually a really roundabout story as to how I actually came about finding your Livejournal, and then, through that, this health blog.
I read through pretty much every entry on this blog just now, and I couldn't leave without commenting.
I wanted to let you know that I am going to be praying for you. I know full well how all these health problems can be.
I am 20 and I have an eerie amount of the same symptoms that you seem to have: I just got referred to a Rhuematologist and an Endocrinologist because my primary doctor really was at the end of her rope as to what to do with me next, so she's shipping me off the specialists. I have a cardiologist for my heart problems, but I don't go to him very much because I just don't like him (you know how you can feel that certain doctors aren't being useful to you and they just get you frustrated?). Anyway, there's a whole pile of things going on, and I and my family are right in the middle of trying to figure out what's going on. I could totally relate to so many of your posts.
Anyway, I guess we could talk more later, because I would absolutely love to get to know you and talk with you and encourage you in any way that I can. :)
I'm praying for you! *hugs*
Grace
