Hi fragilesara...Welcome!
as for feeling like a hypochodriac...Well,
you know that you are sick, right?
So...Stick to your guns.
First off, you said that the doctor ran a
lupus test. As there is no *one* lupus
test, what did he check? Lupus is
diagnosed by several blood tests and
several symptoms over time. What tests
have they ran on you and what were the
results? Did they run an ana test?
Anti-dna? Anti-sm? Anti-ro? A sphyllis
test (some lupus patients get a false
positive)?
And remember, there are other auto-immunes
besides lupus that have a lot of the same
symptoms.
I hope this helps...And feel free to ask
more/comment. All of us will help if we
can!
Hugs,
ladybrannon
