Hi, You should not be worried about your body pain unduly, only presence of joint and body pain is not usually associated with lupus. Usual symptoms of lupus are -1) Skin lesions, rashes like Malay rash, red patches with scaling.2) Photosensitivity skin rashes increases with sun exposure. 3) Joint pain, swelling.4) Chronic cough, breathing difficulty due to pleural (covering of lung) inflammation or pericardial (covering of heart) inflammation.5) Oral ulceration.6) Long term fever.7) Low hemoglobin, bleeding points over skin or bleeding tendency.8) Recurrent infections.9) Swelling over face and body due to loss of protein from body due to kidney problem.10) Psychiatry problems or seizures. When above-mentioned symptoms present in combination (>3) there is possibility of lupus which needs to confirm by doing investigations like complete blood counts, ESR, CRP, ANA, more specific antibody test like anti DSNA, chest X-ray, ultrasonography of abdomen. There is no definitive data that silver is useful in lupus.
