Lupus?

So for 4 years I have been having symptoms that come and go. Im currently having an "episode" they usually last anywhere from 2 weeks to the longest was 2 months depending if i go to the doctor or not. I have seen many doctors but they have not been able to give me an answer. I have gotten blood work done a number of times yet it comes back normal. Lupus has been mentioned by 2 different doctors but then when the blood work comes back normal it gets pushed aside and i leave with no answers. I finally gave up on trying to get answers, i was starting to feel like i was crazy and just lived with it when the symptoms showed up. That is until now, im starting to have more symptoms that are harder to deal with. Im nervous to go to the doctors because i usually end up wasting time and money for them to tell me they don't know whats wrong, take prednisone, it gets better for awhile but eventually out of the blue symptoms start up again. Something inside is telling me not to give up, im not crazy, something is wrong. I have been working up the courage to make an appointment i guess i would just like to hear from some of you guys and let me know what you think. Thank you!

unexplained hives- usually starts behind my ears or on my scalp and spreads, first symptom and most bothersome, was one of my only symptoms until about a year ago, goes away when treated with steroids

Lupus is rare in men but they can have it. If you check out the videos by the Lupus Spokeswoman Christine Miserandino. I think they are on webmd but not positive.

She interviews with a man who has lupus. It took him years for the doctors to say he had lupus, because it's so rare for men to have it.
