Lupus!!!
Hi all,
I'm hoping some one can help me on this one.
After years of having lots of really odd seemingly unconnected health problems I was referred to a rheumatologist on the grounds of worsening Raynaud's syndrome.
I saw the specialist on saturday morning and she seems to think I have Lupus and is sending me for a whole barrage of blood tests.
Does any one here suffer with Lupus or have relatives with lupus? Any advice is very welcome. This quite worrying to me. The specialist also wants my mum to get tested as she came with me, and the Dr found our skin pigments quite interesting.
I have a friend that has this friend with Lupus, she just referred she feels tired all the time and has to be under treatment for the rest of her life... that's the only info I got on this
Will I get furry's disease if I rape you? Oh yeah, could sure go for sum rapin' right about now. raperaperape

Thanks Paola, I am tired all the time some days its worse than others even after I've had a really good nights sleep and plenty of rest.
Wolf!!! I bloody well hope not
No as far as I know Lupus in not contagious or infecious, UKR. Also why would you want to rape some one when you dont know what they look like?
Kelly Bean, once its being treated its not too much of a problem from what I was told by the specialist but I know is can also be quite nasty if it gets out of control. I hope its not Lupus though. I could do with out having to take medication for the rest of my life, not to mention the cost of it all
I just wanted to know that it is manageable and that it dosent majorly impact your liftstyle if you do have it.
Got to have the blood tests on thursday and then I'm up for review in three months back at the hospital. Fun Fun Fun!

would it help to look at webmd to see what lupus entails?
or would that make you all "paranoid" and *checking symptoms against self and saying that you have every one of them and freaking you out more than ever*?
Or - I was in the same sort of situation [seemingly unrelated symptoms that were being treated but not getting down to the real problem]. Just be really firm with your doctor. If you say you want a test, you will, ultimately, get the test.

no they are doing the test, they told me to have the tests I didnt ask for them. Its all well and good looking at the prognosis in detail but it doesnt tell you what its like to live with lupus, what its like having a flare, blah blah blah.
I'm not one of these people that listens to other people's problems and goes "OMG!!! I have that too!!!! May be I have such and such..whatever".
I take my health quite seriously and alot of my health issues I've had for a long time, they arent new and they havent all afflicted me at the same time.
The thing that bothers me most is that they want my mum to get tested too. At home its just me, my mum and my brother. Coping is a really issue as my brother is physically disabled.
I hope I dont have Lupus. I dont want to be on meds for the rest of my life! I dont like being ill! I have to work god damnit
I thought it was the wolf-disease too :s What is it exactly? For some weird reason the three sites I tried to open about lupus don't seem to work.
