Hi doctor,
I have rashes similar to the rash of SLE, swollen, painful and redness around the eyes, severe fatigue and muscle weakness. These symptoms occurred a few months back after I had an intestinal infection. The doctors suspected it to be dermatolysis too, thus having a skin biopsy done tomorrow. I have a few laboratory tests done in one of the famous hospital for an autoimmune disease checkup. My red cell distribution width, CV and SD were high. The anion gap, CRP and sedimentation rates are high while the immunoglobulin IgM level and gamma globulin fraction were low. The total liver enzyme level was elevated and I have fatty liver disease. My current medication is Synthriod. Please suggest me some advice based on the report.

Thank you doctor,
I took Advil or Aleve occasionally for my back pain and headache, as my kidneys are not functioning properly. My doctor suggested Bactrim for UTI. I have decided to consult a urologist after biopsy to know if there is another kidney stone. I have rashes in general. My enzymes are elevated because of fatty liver. Actually, I did not want to test for myositis and multiple myeloma.
I had extreme fatigue due to which I was bedridden for many days. Once, I slept continuously for three days. The rashes and severe fatigue started only after I went to the ER and was found to have a severe intestinal infection. Due to that infection, I started sleeping 17 hours a day for several months and was sick for a year. I appreciate you as you spent your time to look over all those tests. The rash started a year ago, that is, a few weeks after my severe intestinal infection. The rash on my back does itch at times, but not that often. The rash on chest did not itch and I have a few scars.
