    I'm currently waiting for tests to come back for my chronic uveitis with my optic nerve changing. Lots of stuff like diverticulitis that perforated and bells palsy in the past. I am very sensitive to the sun But I am also white and red haired. A lot of my symptoms line up with lupus and my doctor is leaning towards that right now. But yea it was weird to me because I thought that was a women's only dieses Guess Im learning new stuff. Anyways thanks for the info Its hard to find anything related to men and lupus. Also had to have my appendix taken out as a child because it was full of pinworms. probably not related but wired none the less. Also had surgery on my feet at 14 my Achilles tendon was to short they had to lengthen it. and my feet had to have bones broke and shaved down and my heels have metal bullet shaped gear in them now to keep my feet straight. I was in a wheel chair over that one for about a year and a half. I have also had the issue where When i breathe in deep it hurts. Had it happen today while I was working.
