What's wrong with me? i think i have lupus or ms.

Symptoms: Chances are you don't, because neither lupus, nor ms are common. They can happen but there are many other more common diseases that cause symptoms similar to those of lupus and ms. If you've not been feeling well, it warrants for you to see your doc.

See your doctor: Your symptoms are very nonspecific and could be due to many causes, including your psychiatric issues. Get the possibility of additional co-morbidity either established or ruled out.

Need testing: I hope you have explained these symptoms to your regular doctor. If so, they will be able to determine which blood or imaging studies you may need, if any. They may also refer you to a specialist for a complete work up or adjust your medications. If you have not told your doctor, please do. Also consult your family tree to see if anyone else has an autoimmune disease. Best wishes!

Don't self-diagnose: Hi. We docs out here in internet-land don't know anything about you, so of course we can't speculate on what's wrong! There are tests for lupus and MS, but bear in mind, a priori, the odds are low (thankfully) that you have either one! Talk with your doctor about your symptoms, let her/him do a physical exam, and order the appropriate diagnostic tests.
