sometimes people have both because both are autoimmune disorders.

my doctor calls it rupus.

It is possible that you have both maybe the doctors are correct but as far as symptoms go they are very simular for both diseases.

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Diseases (aka RA). Symptoms: jaw pain, lower back pain, feet pain, hand pain, etc... mornings are most difficult because my body is heavy (stiff) and sore and my feet get shooting aches and pains as soon as they hit the floor. I recently started getting hip pain as well. I'm easily exhausted, have no desire to do anything or be around anyone. And i have difficulty concentrating.

No rash or skin irritation. Hope this helps.

I have extreme fatigue and my nights and days get mixed up. One reason I can't sleep is because rolling over can create horrendous pain and that wakes me up. Then the restless leg syndrom. Ahhhhhhh drives me bonkers so I have to get up. The pain consist of pain in the neck, shoulders, hands, lower back and hands. (Don't think there is much left to hurt). It just no fun....at all but by God's grace...I am retired. Thanj you Jesus.
