At the beginning of the first episode of the new season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kim appears concerned about her health as a result of some unusual symptoms she has been experiencing for some time.

"I feel tired, shaking, my hands are swollen," she explains. ?I feel like I'm falling apart. My hands are very numb. "

After a negative pregnancy test, she decided to consult a doctor.

"It hurts my ankles, but not as it usually does," Kim said. ?I feel it in the bone. I'm getting really worried. I should definitely be interested. ?

"Based on the symptoms, I have rheumatoid arthritis," she speculates. ?It's scary. I have to go visit, I can't live like that. "

The 38-year-old doctor agreed that it could be rheumatoid arthritis, but ordered blood tests to get more information. As she waited for the results, Kim - who was expecting her fourth child through a surrogate mother - panicked.

"I'm expecting a baby, I'm in school," she said. ?I'm scared when I think about how many things are going to change in my life. I can't live without knowing what I have. I'm being tortured. "

At the end of the episode, Kim receives a call from a specialist doctor saying that "antibodies are positive for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis."

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissues and organs. The disease is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms - joint pain, fever, fatigue, urticaria - are common and can be explained in many ways. Symptoms also vary from patient to patient. Lupus has no cure but is treated effectively.

Rheumatoid arthritis is also an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system involuntarily attacks body tissue. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis either, but the latest market cures offer improved treatment.

Since Kim's results may be wrong, she scheduled another appointment with the doctor to graph the wrists and hands and come to a safe conclusion.
