Symptom narrative

Following the J&J COVID vaccine, I developed arthritis in my hands and wrists. I saw several rheumatologists. It subsided after 7-8 months, but came back after a COVID infection in 2022, and again in 2023, and again in 2024. I have now had it since September 2024. I again saw rheumatologists in 2022, who confirmed that I have reactive arthritis. I also have strange new allergies including to the sun and raw fruits/vegetables/nuts, regular UTIs (7 in 2024), gastrointestinal issues, and other problems. I saw a dermatologist in February 2025 about two strange marks on my back, and after a few more questions, she tested me for Lupus, which I received a borderline positive result on. The Lupus symptoms started a few weeks after the J&J vaccine, and have continued.

Current illness

None

Medical history

None known, some indication of PCOS but the Ocella fixed that.

Other medications

None except Ocella oral contraception.

Allergies

Sulfa-based antibiotics, now since the vaccine also to the sun, and raw fruits and vegetables and nuts, and lots of undetermined other things that make me sneeze and make my eyes dry and itchy.

Lab data

Lots in 2021, more in 2022, and a Lupus specific test on Feb. 13, 2025 that came back borderline positive.
