Slightly confused

I can't get this typing together, i haven't been diagnosed with lupus but i have all of the symptoms. Im new to this post. A head nurse read over my labs. Everything about my red blood cell and platelets is abnormal.

Hi samplus,

Welcome to the community here on HealthUnlocked, i hope you find the forum helpful.

Would you like me to send you an information pack on lupus? This may help you to understand about the condition a little better. Just send me either a private message or an email with your full name and address, and i will post one out to you. [e-mail]

Are you currently being tested for lupus? What symptoms do you experience?

Best wishes,

Hayley

My fingers turn white, i have joint pain, i have a dark area on my left leg dont know where it came from. I have been tested in the past but it came back negative. So i asked my doctor to refer me to a rheumatologist, im waiting for a response.

Hey Samplus,

There are too many diseases that have similar symptoms to lupus, you have to get to a specialist, perhaps rheumatologist or nutritionist,or hormone specialist, but someone with knowledge and get tested. just make sure you come equipped with all your symptoms. Even then you could be faced with a lengthy time before a doctor diagnose you accurately. I have lupus, but my daughter has graves diseases, still we both have similar symptoms.
