* Frequent and or blocked urination
* Muscle spasms & weakness
* Muscle tingling/pins & needles
* Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
* Loss of coordination & sensation (starting with feet and then hands)
* Numbness/tingling in neck
* Shakiness
* Loss/less of sweating in hands & feet
* Eye floaters/eye flashers & pressure and blurry spots/dimness in eyes
*Headaches w/ some mood changes & trouble focusing

I am 17 and a half y/o, and almost positive that I have SLE. I was just diagnosed with Raynauds. I get symmetrical joint pains & have the malar rash. My eyes and mouth get dry frequently. My grandfather had type 1 diabetes, and my aunt (on the other side of the family) has sclederma and hypothyroidsm.

* Out of those list of symptoms the first were the eye changes and carpal tunnel w/ numbness in hands/feet. This seems to be progessing & i am verry VERY frightened. (i am going to the eye doctor tomorrow & am seeing a neurologist VERY soon.)

Yes some of those symptoms do relate to lupus. You should see a doctor ASAP! Go now.
