@iAMcirca Thank you for your comment. Regarding your symptoms, I'd suggest you write them down and how they affect you and make an appt. to talk with your doctor. The diagnosis process can take time and there are a variety of things doctors look at -- medical and family history, symptoms and blood tests. As far as living with lupus, people learn to live with lupus in healthy ways thru management, doctors visits, support and treatment. (continued)
