Hi everyone, I've made a few posts on here regarding Lupus. But I ultimately want to know, in anyone's opinion if they think I have the disease. My blood tests results back in April showed I did have Lupus but when I had another routine blood test it showed negative. My doctor has refered me onto a rheumatologist, because she doesn't know how to deal with this disease. I'll give everyone a rough outline about my health. I suffered with gastritis, severe IBS peptic ulcers and esophagitis. I usually get a lot of tension headaches and I suffer with depression. If my stomach pains get ultimately sore my stomach will start to bruise that looks like a rash and this is why I had a blood test back in April that discovered I had Lupus.
As far as I'm aware I know I don't suffer with the mos common signs of Lupus such as achey joints. But I do suffer with fatigue and the skin rash could possibly be the outbreak on my stomach when I'm in ultimate pain.
I would like as much guidance and understanding to know. I know this sounds horrible but I would like Lupus to be the reason why I've been so unwell for the last twenty years of my life, because it's had such a major impact on me.
