Could all these symptoms have one root cause?
Could these symptoms/diagnosis be all related?
40 year old female, smoker (shame)
Kidney stones 2 yrs ago
Pre-cancerous Breast Calcifications current and 1 year ago
Raynauds Syndrome diagnosed last month (had for years though)
Multiple Miscarriages
Tested for Lupus last year=negative
Sore bones, especially arms & legs.
Currently taking Norvasc for Raynauds & Celexa for anxiety/depression. (Past 30 days)
I will be back at the doctors in a week or so & will ask him, but I can't help but wonder if all of these thing weren't inter-related or if there wasn't a common thread through all of them.
Any ideas or experiences?
My apologies, last year, as well as about 10 years ago and twenty years ago...I was tested for thyroid disease because of another strange symptom (breast sporadically secreting clear and/or white fluid)...each test has come back normal.

it sounds like you also have arthritis.

this actually sounds like Lupus. You said you were tested but it came back negative. Actually there is no 'test' for Lupus. You can have an ANA test which can help to rule it in but just because that test was negative it doesn't mean you don't have Lupus. In fact about 25% of people with Lupus don't test positive for ANA. You need to exhibit 4 of the 12 Lupus symptoms to be diagnosed symptomatically. You already show those symptoms. Raynauld's syndrome is closely associated with Lupus as are miscarriages and aching joints. I would seek a different opinion. I would also have my kidneys checked through a creatine clearance test and a 24 hour urine test for protein.
Also make sure your blood is tested for APS or antiphospholipid syndrome. This can also cause the miscarriages.
Don't stop until you get an answer. Many people go years before being properly diagnosed with Lupus. Keep at your doctors, press them to do more tests and by no means just be a spectator.
