Septal perforation and lupus?
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hello
I am after some advice. I have suffered with my sinuses for years and over a year ago I started with sores, scabs and bleeding in my nose. Its constant everyday. I have a tree allergy but usually that is worse in autumn!?
So yesterday I blew my nose and a scab came off. I then started making a whistle noise when I breathed in. I shone a light up my nostril and found a tiny hole in my cartridge . Utterly shocked I got an appointment with my GP today who has referred me to ENT urgently. They are so busy that my appointment is 3 weeks away even though it's classed as urgent!
She asked about my general health etc. From googling it lupus came up. This is something I have looked into a year or two back as I suffer with fatigue, hair loss, low iron, low b12, bruising, mouth and tongue sores. I haven't ever had a rash. I just wondered if anyone had experienced nasal sores? My latest bloods showed low rbc but my iron was fine and my b12 was very high for me! I'm totally freaking out about the tiny hole. I don't want it to get any bigger.
I would like to add I have NEVER taken any drugs in my life. I'm 34 year old female.

Have you tried Bicarbonate of soda diluted in some water for the sores? My Rheumy advised me to do this, also to take high dose of vit c every day. Definitely worked for meπ

I get tongue sores. My tongue is covered in red sores now and it's so painful. I've been getting this for years and put it down to my vitamin deficiencies.
I'm not sure what is going on with me but I've been feeling rubbish for years and I'm really hoping to get some answers.
