What Causes Mouth Sores, Exhaustion, Raynaud S Disease, Sore Joints And Muscles?

Hello Dr Rynne, My 26 year old daughter has the following symptoms, and has had them for about 10 weeks. They have become increasingly more severe as the weeks went on. She has gone in for blood work, and we are waiting for results. She is not a big drinker, does not smoke or take drugs. She has a history of tummy problems and has removed gluten from her diet, but has not been tested. She has Raynaud s disease, but is otherwise healthy. Symptoms; extreme exhaustion, sore joints and muscles, sore gums and mouth sores, getting sick after eating. So tired, she falls asleep on the toilet, and can barely stay awake at work. Also, short of breath and can hardly do anything. I am very worried, thank you for your thoughts. Barbara (mother)

Hi,

As per my clinical experience, your daughter having mouth sores, exhaustion, sore joints, muscles and Raynaud's disease do have possibility of Systemic sclerosis, which is an auto immune disorder with multiple system involvement. Kindly get her examined with an expert immunologist in this case and get her blood checked for specific antibodies, revert back with work up details please.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
