    High ANA & Undiagnosed autoimmune disorder with list of symptoms

    I started dealing with autoimmune symptoms over a year ago (I.e. itchy, rashes that scarred, fatigue, nerve issues such as tingling and vibrating, muscle twitching, numbness in toes when cold that discolor, occasional pain in joints. The most recent and slightly disturbing is eye problems. They go blurry sometimes especially after sunlight and a couple times went black for a second. All my symptoms tend to come in flares especially after stress. My ANA was >=1:640 speckled and homogeneous. No other tests came back concerning except I had low C3 and in my metabolic panel, I had high total protein, high albumin and high anion gap. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Does it sound like lupus or something else?
