Lupus or autoimmune disease Posted: 04-24-08 00:37am
This weekend was the first sunny weekend
and I went out on a roadtrip with my mom
and within 10 minutes of being out in the
sun I had a bad flare-up. VERY achy
joints, the malar rash developed when I
was in the sun, and when I got sunburned I
had red, circle patches, low grade fever,
chest pain with deep breathes, I could go
on but I don't wanna write too much. I've
had these problems since I was little, I'm
16 now and it's taken ages for me to
finally be diagnosed with an Autoimmune
disease, after going to the doctors and
being tested for ages and my test results
always coming back negative. My question
is does this sound like Lupus? And if so,
should I ask my rhuematologist to test me
for it? Thanks so much in advance.
