Hi there

Diagnosed with lupus 3 months ago . Seeing rheumy next month .

Started with raised rash all over my legs and diagnosis followed that with blood tests confirming . Any information would be really helpful

If you go onto Lupus UK Website they have a newly diagnosed pack they can send you and lots of really good free leaflets. Don't Google, only get info from reputable websites such as Lupus UK, LFA and order The Lupus Encyclopedia, a very good book. Rest assured that life does not end with a lupus diagnosis and you will eventually find your own way forward. Good luck xx

Do you know if there is any relationship between lupus and hypothyroidism .honestly I am beginning to feel like a hypochondriac

I am in the U.S. , and I find that Cleveland clinic, mayo clinic, and Johns Hopkins websites have very solid information. And of all the support sites This one is the absolute best!
